<VV> Watches (not much Corvair)

[Dave & Carole Thomson]

I am stuck in the digital age as I have worn Timex Ironman programmable 
watches for years.  The latest is the USB model which has about 20 different 
programs you can load off the computer.  AND the digital numbers are very 
large and easy to read on the watch..

Dave in Calgary....68 Kelmark and 66 Corsa 140-4 Vert.
