Going back to the original question: Rob Tannen wrote:
displays the time in digit or analog format when not in use.
Does it have to display the time when it's not being used? Could it display other useful bits of information as well? Could it power off after a certain amount of inactivity?
It seems like I'm surrounded by things that tell me what time it is (or might be) but not enough things that tell me useful bits about their state. My office coffee pot tells me what time it is (or how long since the last power outage) but what I really *need* it to tell me is the answer to, "How old is the coffee in the coffee pot?".
