Yeaaa...

Like those IBM clocks that were in schools.  It was always fun to watch
the minute hand go around until it got to the correct time.

But then...my "atomic clock", does the same thing.  $29 for a clock
that sets it's own time.  Problem is, it seems to only resync at
midnight.  So when 2 AM comes along, and it becomes CST, all day Sunday,
the clock is off.  But comes midnight, it starts doing its thing.

Better yet - all home electronics should be connected to an IBM 
manufactured, sold, and serviced Sysplex Timer, eh?
Could you ask Chuckie (Happy Halloween, Chuckie!) to let me know if
that's 
in the plans -- so that I can buy some IBM stock ahead of time?  :-)
