	Most folks here in the US have to set their clocks back one hour today. I almost forgot it. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty." As it is kitten, so shall it be done.

	I have 2 watches, a Tissot Touch with barometer and altimeter on winter time and a aluminium Swatch for the summer. So I don't have to reset them. Once I went swimming with the Touch and sea water entered it. It was repaired in Switzerland at no cost, although the warranty had expired. Since then I only used it while skiing. Tullio ____________

	my clock is radio controlled from the national time signal. I have 3 that are also... An old Heathkit GC1000 and a wall clock that use the radio time signals. And a Nixiechron nixie tube clock that uses GPS signals. A bunch of others that are on manual control. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you.

	I thought that would happen on February 30th... ...me too. Some bright spark thought about moving it to February 31st until someone realised that the Romans actually abolished this date so it doesn't come round any more. ____________ The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes.

	what I dont get is that we now have daylight savings for more than 6 months of the year. That seems to defeat the purpose. If that one hour is such a bother then adjust your working hours.
