Although fond of using my Dad's autowind Rolex on special occasions - the darn thing is 40 years old and I remember it since I was a kid - I still think my cheap Swatch Irony Aluminium has served me well. It's got 4 years now and hasn't missed a click. Set it twice a year for daylight savings and forget it.

When all else fails the batphone is pressed into use. And the day I find out how to make a PalmIIIx keep time accurately, that one will also be used!
Ah yes, the notebook synchs with an atomic clock whenever it is plugged anywhere near an Internet connection.

And I'm still late every now and then... Received on Sun May 01 2005 - 23:43:41 CDT
