A neat idea.

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

— Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy



Yes, I think they are a neat idea. And I really do like this 80s-looking watch. Lots of people are all "Whoa, have you had that watch since you were born or something?" They don't realize that this timeless timepiece is as neat of an idea as it was in 1983. And now it's broken. And it sucks.

Actually it's just the glass that is broken. But since this is Norway 2007 it costs more to have it fixed than what I paid for this would-be heirloom, in 2000.
