Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?

That should have been William Shatner. . . and the device/ book series is 'Tek'.Apologies to all fans of this fine SF cycle.

***Phaser set on STUN for Guido*** ;}

Mockery will get Guido about as far as his insistence on a personal explanation of how things work.

Huh? Oh no, I know exactly how the CLC works. . . same as my lucky-pet-Pecan, which I used to carry in my pocket for several years. Not to talk about the two wonderful Fung Sui wooden forks I put against the picture window above my front door. These are all heavily modded audiophile-grade Pecans and wooden forks. They optimized my annual pay-increase and equally maximized my daughter school grades.

Guido,
I can just hear your daughter right now saying, " Oh, Daddy. You're so silly!"
