Any chance of getting a pic of your ThunderClock. I know there
are
other pics around, but I'd like to see what yours looks like. If
you don't
mind that is. Please don't go out of your way to do it, but if
you do, can
you make it clear enough to see everything on it? I know, I don't
want
much, huh?

Thanks much if you do though,   8-)
