Patrick, my solution was to be a $5.00 old fashioned round clock from Ikea, with a second hand and add a ring of inner numbers from 13 to 24. Runs on a single AA battery for about 6 months and is accurate within a few seconds every few months. I also have one of the old Radio Shack atomic clocks (of course they won't do GMT, just the local time) digital clocks which is how I ensure the wall clock is bang on. Much cheaper than your options. I'm going to do the same thing at the cottage too....Walt _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
