I did forget to mention that Mr Clock Radio operates in two different modes. On the bottom of the unit is a switch marked demo. When the demo switch is turn on it no longer tells the time but will speak in an endless chatter. I must admit that I have not really given it a real trial but I will and will report back when I do.
We still need someone here with some electronics background to take one apart and see if we can connect Hal to it, as that would be so cool.
