=> In the 3rd world, that I came from, we never bothered to set the clocks
=> on stoves/microwave ovens/VCR's because you'd lose power AT LEAST twice
=> a week. More in summer with the lightning storms and more again in
=> winter, when for some reason the filth would steal the cables to sell
=> for the copper content.
=> 
=> Admittedly, this is a first world country, so your standards are
=> higher.  :-)
