silly 5k question...

[Chris Dyer]

hmmm...my COMPUTER's "clock" is actually just a trip clock--it's only 
keeping track of minutes/hours from when it was last reset.  It blinks 
"2:00" every 2 hours.  Perhaps this clock has multiple (e.g. tells time too) 
functions?

I'd get an owner's manual, but c'mon 5 bucks?!  That's half a movie!
