Hey Nancy!

   I have to admit I cheated and had a small taste the other day just to ensure I   
   had done the right thing and it was up to the occasion.  I am sure it is, and   
   notably is tastier than the 12 year old, although maybe I have been prejudiced   
   by the extra cost.  I don't think so though.   
      
    NB> It makes a good excuse for the splurge   
      
   That is my story and I am sticking to it.   
      
    NB> It does do the countdown nicely   
      
   So far it looks to be accurate although it is set to UTC and not yours or my   
   local time which gives us a few hours to play with.  :-)   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
