That's a good question which requires voltnuttery. I'll get on that when I get off the time nuttery bandwagon
150 meg would be nice. We're apparently 35th in the world in broadband speeds here in the UK
Get one of these. Accurate and stable enough for 5.5 digits.

I guess I'll have to muddle through with my collection of resistors and cheap AD584 reference for now. I hate to bug the guy while he's "away".
In other news... I just unearthed a 20-year-old
IBM Thinkpad 380XD. This was my laptop when I met my wife and has been in storage since at least 2008. I plugged it in and it not only works, the battery took a charge and ran for ~15 minutes while I showed it to her. Jeebus, they knew how to build 'em back then.
Looks to be OK, lets hope the reality is as good as the promise.
Ifni save me, I hope not. It was advertised as "intermittently doesn't work". I'm hoping that's entirely due to the battery contact issues that plagued this family of designs, which I can resolve with a LiPo upgrade. That's the only reason I was willing to take that much of a gamble on it.
