Thread: Time

Hey ya'll,

Anyone know if a GPS clock will work down there? You know the ones I mean. You just plug it in and it sets itself to local time and you never have to worry about it again.

Woah! they have those !?!?

dunno, but the power is 110.4 volts down here so anything you plug in will have a different time.....we have about a 20 minute difference between upstairs and downstairs.....fyi

Yes; I have one. They work here too. Mine is made by Emerson Research. I think I payed like $30 for it back home at the local
Walmart. It's nice. It has two alarms also that can be set to go off at whatever days of the week you want. I set one alarm to go off at 6 am on M-F and the second to go off at 8am on the weekends. The weekend is set for music and the M-F is loud buzz.
One of the best things I brought down here.

I thought it would work, but I wanted to know for sure before I bought anything iffy.

just buy a battery powered clock... or use ur cell phone. and the AC powered clock problem doesn't occur anywhere else except the dorms.

I use a wind up clock, works just as well.

i used an alarm clock, my cell phone, and the timer on the oven, yet still made it to class 5 minutes late daily.
