Thanks for explaining that, Polly -- I did miss it. g I don't think my

Here is some more to boggle about.
When I was out in Colorado last summer my great-nephew who is not quite
13 did the point at the wrist and raise the brows motion towards me. I
took out my pocket watch and handed it to him. He was boggled. He had
no idea how to read it. It is your typical clock face with hands and
roman numerals, winding knob at the three. Not only did he not know how
to read a clock with a face, he couldn't read roman numerals!

That really is a boggler. If he can't at least grasp the principle of
a clock face, he's going to need adult supervision for the rest of his
life.
There are some very sophisticated watches with no numerals at all. And
then there's the tourist-trap version, a Bavarian cuckoo clock with
hands that run backwards.

After some searching around, I see that I no longer have the
instruction book, or the registration number. So is this disc junk?

its printed at the back of the instruction book), or whoever gets it

I have the EQ5 and it's not hard to use at all. Great deal for someone.

Don't the schools still have clocks on the wall that are a regular
clock face & not digital? Can't believe a 12 yo can't read a regular
watch/clock!

Our kitchen clock gets so many different reactions. It has the 12 where it
belongs. The rest of the numbers have fallen to the bottom except for the 5
which rides around on the minute hand. It's been a kitchen staple for about
40 years. The little folks want to know why we don't fix it, the grouches
want to know why we don't get rid of it. The brick-masons who laid our
patio wanted to know where they could buy one. Digital may be efficient but
it's surely not much fun. Polly

I can't believe it! Polly, we have the same kitchen clock!

Maureen

I'm betting that your clock has been as much fun as ours. . . or maybe that
we need to join a 12-step program for time management. =) Polly

Neither could I!
I thought for sure he was having me on.
Then for a second I thought it was just the roman numerals and told him
to just ignore them and look at where the hands were. He got upset with
me, so it must have been real.
I did use my pocke****ch to show him how to read a clock, which made me
feel very much like my great-grandfather. I don't think he much saw the
use of it.
