>>>>So I emailed Mike Beane yesterday to see if he wanted to buy a watch. I used my alternate address. He had the nerve to not even answer me! How rude...
>>>I recommend a G-Shock.. Mine synchs with the Atomic Clock every night, so I'm pretty much always accurate as to what time it may be. You can get them at Sams or Walmart for under 100.00. I'll let Mike B know too!

>>You just did ;-) Actually I almost never wear a watch, since I am generally right by a clock of one kind or another (computer, in the car, in a room with a clock, etc.) About the only time I do is when I referee soccer and need to use the timer. That one was indeed bought at Wal-Mart and set me back about 20 bucks.

>My mother once complained that there were no clocks in my house. I pointed out there was one on the VCR in the lounge, a digital display on the boiler in the bathroom, a timer on the cooker in the kitchen, et al. What a pain to set all these (and the clocks) at equinoxes.
I don't bother anymore. My computers get updated (some manually, some automagically), and the kitchen clocks (on the microwave, on the oven, on the coffee maker) are updated manually; the cell phone takes the time off the air (where it's laid really high, somewhere in the stratosphere), but my wrist watch (for travel only), camera and any other gadgets are on summertime forever. I simply won't bother. I may spend a whopping $3 to get me a winter watch :).
