silly 5k question...

[jim rose]

well now i REALLY feel dumb. mine must be a trip clock, too. it also flashes 
the "2:00" message. i just figured it was broken...

tho' it DID seem odd that there would be 2 seemingly unrelated clocks within 
12 inches of each other.

manual, shmanual. that'd be like stopping and asking for directions!  ; )
