That's too obvious a troll, Rod. You're slipping! :-)
Agreed. Its stuck at 'totallyshit' all the time.
I know, you either get a radio that happens to have a clock alarm in it that sort of just about works, or a clock radio that must be intended for mensa members with very very long arms and able to identify buttons from feel when they are all the same shape. No knobs no switches that click, and often either a built in searchlight or a tiny screen you cannot see in stupid colours like pink on light blue. Brian
I have a projection (Red LED) clock that displays the time on my bedroom ceiling. Its much easier to see than a bedside clock.
I have a speaking watch which I wear 24 hours a day during my work week. At weekends, I don't care what time it is. :-)
That very much depends upon your eyesight.

Very true. The intensity of the characters is very much less than decent LED - even on a white wall.
I suspect focus might be more of a problem
Not so much with a laser.
It's -5C in your garage???
Bloody hell - what is it outside?
I used to have one, but the hassle of having to put on my glasses (to correct short sight) to see the time removed most of the convenience. Fortunately I sleep wearing a watch with luminous hands.
The ability of the user to focus on the ceiling when not wearing contact lenses or glasses.
Don't they have thermal cutouts?
Quite. I wear contact lenses to correct 'long' sight and astigmatism, and the only thing that works for me is nice large characters on the alarm at night. Even a well lit analogue alarm isn't much use as a hand can (near) disappear due to the astigmatism. ;-)
Those with 'short' sight are actually lucky. At least there are still some things in focus without correction. ;-)
2C - I HAVE MY FRIDGE ON FULL BLAST WITH THE DOOR OPEN TO KEEP MY HOME BREW COLD.
