Keeping track of time via external chip?

Jed

I need to keep track of time without tying up my program. Is there a chip that will track the time for me that I can just poll to get time values to compare to see how much time has passed?

Here's one such chip: www.parallax.com/Store/Components/IntegratedCircuits/tabid/154/CategoryID/31/List/0/SortField/0/catpageindex/3/Level/a/ProductID/233/Default.aspx

And some example schematics and source code can be found at the following link.
