I just got (paper!) mail from 'Michigan Software Distributors'.  A flier
describes the  SMART WATCH,  which is inserted under 'the number one ROM
chip'. $60 for the 520, 70 for the 1040, clock setting software included.
10 year (irreplaceable) lithium battery.

This is the 1st one that I have seen that claims that it will fit in the
1040 case. (Think I'd rather keep the cartrige slot free.)  Oh yeah, the
phone number's 313-348-4477 if anyone is brave enough to order one sight
unseen.

So gang:  Is this a decent price (US $'s)?
          ARE there other clocks that fit in the 1040 case?
          Does anyone have one? (i.e. are they any good?)

Usual disclaimers: I don't  know the distibutors above,  only interested
                   in the product.  Opinions (such as they are) are mine.
                   What? Who, me?
