I think the original Sharp talking time one would do that if you happen to have one burried somewhere. Also how about a talking clock with three alarms one set for 12, one for 4 and one for 8. or whatever appropriate time. Maybe you'd need two such clocks for am/pm. Tom Fowle

Scott asked. However, I thought I read somewhere that the motor in an appliance still has some affect on electricity even when it's not being used, is not digital, and is merely just plugged into the outlet. Do I recall that correctly? No. When a motor is off, it's off. No current flows.
