concerning rtc's, and the crystals. is it correct to say (im trying to understand) that clocks lose time because of the crystal accuracy? and if so, is the crystal accuracy affected by temperature? if this is a true statement, then if my clock crystal was kept at a constant temperature in theory, my…
