You used google to compute the period of a 30 GHz sine wave? And then
accepted an obviously bogus result?
I don't think he was suggesting that you should forget how to do
simple arithmetic.

LCD graphics controller wi th RS232 lonk to PC

LCD graphics modules are not always easy to drive.
Sometimes you have an embedded processor system X,
and writing yet an other driver for the LCD module may suck.
It may also suck if the LCD display has to be far away from the PC,
say several meters.
To solve that, I programmed a Microchip PIC 18F14K22 as graphics controller

No, but that's probably not a bad thing since you like 10M and I like
1M.
One rather unfortunate thing, though, is that RESET stops the oscillator
so you can't use RESET to do a divide-by-n unless you use an external
clock.

In several projects, I measure global time in 64 bit nanoseconds since
2000. So there is apparent problem of Y 2584. Somehow I don't have much
worry about it.
You do apply to Linksys tech support; why whining about their problem here?
