OTOH, Brian, I'd say at least 1/3rd of us on this list could pronounce
it "just a clock, what the hell is the fuss all about anyway?" with only
a rather quick and cursory inspection of it.
The real problem is getting TPTB to recognize, and accept the expertise
carrying persons pronouncement, and then go on about their daily tasks,
which should not include sending out for more dirt so they can make a
mountain the size of K2 out of a pimple.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
