ah, but being the antithesis of a Luddite is my hobby! I am EXPECTED to know the time, and how to get it!

There are TV programs I watch which almost require you to see the first minute, and I hate to miss them...

   My parlor trick is resetting other folks VCRs (the blinking 12:00), without looking at the manual.

My one good watch is always within 4-5 seconds of the exact time....which I get from the Atomic clocks by way of the computer.


But....I also can estimate time pretty well. When I was in 7th & 8th grade, I used to count the seconds between classes until I had calibrated my brain. The side effect is, I HATE it when someone says "I'll be back in 20 minutes." and has NO idea how lonk his task/trip etc., will take.
