First, I was smart enough to check the batteries
before I posted this, and I have put new ones in
it before attempting to use it. Now that that is out
of the way, does anyone have any other suggestions?
Anyway, I can set the time and it holds it, but it
does not run. The time is not incrementing, but it
will hold the time that I set it at. Very strange
that it does that much. Is there a program I need
to run that starts it running? I'd assume that it
would just go, but it doesn't. I've had just about
enough of buying junk and I may not buy anything
else unless the people promise me that it works
and offers to take it back if it doesn't. I know
this is one of the pitfalls of vintage computing,
but let's get real. Only a jerk would sell something
that they know doesn't work.
