Subject:Re: how do you get the digi clock off of Millitary time?
Date:Tue, 7 Feb 2006 15:42:03 EST

hi all.. i did the "conversion" from 24hr to 12hr  time last nite on my
digital clock..  was SIMPLE!  took a few minutes.  simply just sever the lead on
the 24hr spot, and solder a blob on the 12hr spot.. done..

for those of you who wanted a 24hr/millitary time clock, next time i get one,
i will post it to the list before i convert it. i had a few people p-mail me
who actually wanted to swap their 12hr clock with my 24hr one...  i had no
idea there would be anyone interested in it!!!!!..

thanks, all

chris
