It was *so* painful to not only set that clock, but also to set it up to record your programs. Turned out that there were just enough motivators for me to break down and get it done - not the least of which being that I learnt from my peers the term "twelve o'clock flasher". The best thing about the internet coming along in the mid-nineties was that I finally had so much better *access* to my peers. Best invention ever - the internet, not the VCR's.
