..and of course everything on Wikki is correct!!!

Jeff

The usual cry of those who have not bothered to do any research on a
subject and are shown a Wiki article that contradicts their position
is that Wiki can be edited by anybody.

Wiki is more correct than most of the babble on USENET and the Wiki article
has 18 external references to back it up.

Where is your annotated list of references?

Here's another site that says the same thing:

"The slave is kept in synchrony with the master in a phase locked loop."
