Yep - The one that powers the clock is "live" all da time - the one Tom
doesn't have a need for apparently ;-)
Actually I can't call my switcheroo a complete success this weekend. Still
having a problem with the "Blinkin' Coolant Light Syndrome" that Mark I
privately & briefly touched on earlier today. It will either get solved or
it won't be. That's when I turn to a stick dyn-o-mite if my patience wears
out. <big grin>
