Throw that noisy thing in the trash and buy a radio-controlled WWVB clock.

And I also like a clock that TELLS the time (when I push a large
button), so there's no need to turn on the light at night. The one I got
cost $15 at Radio shack (almost 20 years ago).


I just push the Home button on my phone (which I also use as
an alarm clock) and look.

Cindy Hamilton

That is great if your phone was surgically attached to your hand. I
don't want to have to go try to find my phone to see what time it is.

My charging station is next to the bed. When I'm awake my phone
is always in my pocket.

Right now, though, I can see the clock display on my computer. That's
the case for about half of my waking time.

Cindy Hamilton

I was connected during my whole working life. I had a PT (Blackberry
type device, connected to the IBM data network and anyone in the world
who had PROFs or a PT) in 1985. I carried it everywhere. I had a pager
24/7/365 before that. I don't want to be connected all the time
anymore. I don't need to be able to find out the population of
Aardvark Michigan at a moment's notice and I don't twit every mundane
aspect of my life. I spend too much time on the computer now. I want
to get away from it now and then. I stopped turning on the TV as soon
as I get in the house now too. If someone needs to get in touch with
me, leave a message on my landline machine or send me an Email. I will
see it when I get home.

A person at work said something about digging out her phone to see what
time it was. My question was "Why?' She only has three monitors showing
at least three different machines.

A couple of other programmers have even brought in wall clocks.

Back in the day we used little stick on digital clocks. I'd been at a
flea market and bought a wrist watch for $5 that from a distance looked
vaguely like a Rolex. The department head cautioned me about leaving
expensive items laying around.



I stopped wearing a watch in 1972 when my $100 LED watch died. Like
you say, I could walk up to any (360/370) console at work and type "D
T" and get the time. If I wasn't at work, I didn't care what time it
was.

Some of us have enough of a clue to use the cellphone
for everything now, so its always right next to them.

I have yet to be convinced that is a good thing. You can be too
connected.

Connected to what? Apart from its use as a timepiece, my phone
mainly services the two-factor authentication required by my
employer's network. I don't use it for e-mail and if it rings
once a week it's a miracle.

Cindy Hamilton

I had a PT that was on the network via RF and I logged in once a day,
maybe less than that if I never logged it off.

It looked like it would be hard to get real clocks, so a few years ago I
bought 4 Westclox clocks, with snooze alarm and lighted dial, at a
hamfest a few years ago. I've only used 1, but they were only $2 a
piece. I think they were "dumped" because it's very hard to turn the
knob to set the t ime and alarm, but I rarely have to do that.

You must really have an off brand bank if you don't drive by a branch
every time you are out and the ATM is really easy to use if the Covid
has the lobby closed. I assume if I internet banked I could drop a
check on my scanner and deposit it tho. The reality is I only cash
about a dozen checks a year and most come quarterly (dividends).
Four trips a year to the bank is not a burden

Make it real easy for yourself; have your dividends ACH deposited to
your checking account. No more worries about the check getting lost or
stolen in the mail. No misplacing/losing it at home. No more needing
to make a trip to an ATM or the bank. And, you have access to your
money sooner.

That is great if your phone was surgically attached to your hand. I
don't want to have to go try to find my phone to see what time it is.

My charging station is next to the bed. When I'm awake my phone
is always in my pocket.

Right now, though, I can see the clock display on my computer. That's
the case for about half of my waking time.

I was connected during my whole working life. I had a PT
(Blackberry type device, connected to the IBM data network
and anyone in the world who had PROFs or a PT) in 1985.
I carried it everywhere. I had a pager 24/7/365 before that.

I don't want to be connected all the time anymore.

You are free to turn on do not disturb any time you like.

I don't need to be able to find out the population
of Aardvark Michigan at a moment's notice

You are free to no do that.

and I don't twit every mundane aspect of my life.

And that.

I spend too much time on the computer now.
I want to get away from it now and then.

You are free to do that any time you like.

I stopped turning on the TV as soon as I get in the house
now too. If someone needs to get in touch with me, leave
a message on my landline machine or send me an Email.

And you have to fart around checking those.

You seem to have all the excuses why you
are married to your phone down pat.

I'm not married to my phone, I find it convenient, ****wit.

I still don't see the need.

Yep, you actually are that terminal a ****wit.

If the phone is off, why carry it?

Never said it was off, ****wit.

I will see it when I get home.

And when your wife wants to get you to get
something on the way home, you're ****ed.

No she is. ;-)

Depends on whether its for you, ****wit.

Smartl phones are really good for depositing checks to the bank. Now I
don't have to be afraid the guard will shoot me by mistake.

You must really have an off brand bank if you
don't drive by a branch every time you are out

Both my main banks are hundreds of miles away
and some don't have any physical branches at all.

and the ATM is really easy to use if the Covid has the lobby closed.

Havent used an ATM in years now. Much more convenient
to use the selfcheckout at the supermarket for the minimal
cash I ever need now. I only use cash at garage/yard sales
now. I pay for everything with the phone that you are stupid
enough to leave at home.

I assume if I internet banked I could drop
a check on my scanner and deposit it tho.

You actually take a photo of it with the phone.

The reality is I only cash about a dozen checks a year

I don't even get one a decade.

and most come quarterly (dividends).

Mine all come electronically, dinosaur.

Four trips a year to the bank is not a burden

Zero is much more convenient.

It's only 4 block away but it's much easier and quicker to use the phone
than to do anything at the drive-through or the ATM and I don't like
putting checks in the ATM so I never see them again. With the phone, I
still have the check.

I deposit from 4 to at most 8 checks a year, almost all of them from the
account at the stock broker to my checking account, when the checking
account is getting low.

Make it real easy for yourself; have your dividends ACH deposited to
your checking account. No more worries about the check getting lost or
stolen in the mail. No misplacing/losing it at home. No more needing
to make a trip to an ATM or the bank. And, you have access to your
money sooner.
Since they might sit in the drawer for a month I doubt I really care
how soon I have access to the money. I don't float with my mouth so
close to being underwater.
I like seeing the checks and sometimes I just give them to my wife.
She likes that.

You folks act like I make a special trip to the ATM, I drive by it 3
or 4 times a week. Most of my dividends go to the brokerage account
but I still have some shares I am holding personally. Those are the
ones I get checks for.

Wrong, as always. None of them are off brand banks,
just those with enough of a clue to avoid the stupid
cost of lots of physical branches and actually pay you
to use any ATM in the country.

Between banks? We have 5 plus a brokerage account. I can't even move
money from my bank to my brokerage account electronically since Dodd
Frank and they are the essentially same people. DF built a wall

other).

I drive by it 3 or 4 times a week.

Still makes more sense to have it show up in the
checking account completely automatically, dinosaur.

Most of my dividends go to the brokerage account
but I still have some shares I am holding personally.
Those are the ones I get checks for.

Trivial to move it once it shows up.

Like I said, sometime I give them to my wife.

Not really, without writing another check.

With online banking, I can transfer money from any one
of my bank accounts to any other. Another check is
not required.

Between banks? We have 5 plus a brokerage account. I can't even move
money from my bank to my brokerage account electronically since Dodd
Frank and they are the essentially same people. DF built a wall
between them. (two web sites that do not talk directly with each
other).

Our financial situation is much simpler. One bank, one credit union,
a checking and savings account in each. I was planning to close the
bank accounts about the time the lockdown started and just go with
the credit union.

Smartl phones are really good for depositing checks to the bank.
Now
I
don't have to be afraid the guard will shoot me by mistake.

You must really have an off brand bank if you don't drive by a
branch
every time you are out and the ATM is really easy to use if the
Covid
has the lobby closed. I assume if I internet banked I could drop
a
check on my scanner and deposit it tho. The reality is I only
cash
about a dozen checks a year and most come quarterly (dividends).
Four trips a year to the bank is not a burden

Make it real easy for yourself; have your dividends ACH deposited
to
your checking account. No more worries about the check getting
lost or
stolen in the mail. No misplacing/losing it at home. No more
needing
to make a trip to an ATM or the bank. And, you have access to your
money sooner.
Since they might sit in the drawer for a month I doubt I really
care
how soon I have access to the money. I don't float with my mouth so
close to being underwater.
I like seeing the checks and sometimes I just give them to my wife.

Yep, any bank account in the country in my case.

Then you need a better bank, stupid.

"Dodd Frank" is a law limiting... collusion (I guess you could call
it) between banks. Things you can do are probably illegal here.
