My biggest use for my old Vic-20 was a alarm clock. =C2=A0Worked fine unles= s the power went out. =C2=A0Well, that sounds like todays alarm clock. =C2= =A0lol =C2=A0 I guess some things never change.

That's really funny, Dale= . That brings back memories (and more than 5K of them!). My dad gave me a V= IC-20 when I was in college and I used it for several years.
