We only had a couple of boxes that didn't make it by themselves. One of 
them is the Win2K box that our Pinnacle DekoCast lives on. We started 
the morning newscast before realizing the clock on the ticker was an 
hour slow. Amazing how many people notice that at 6 o'clock on Sunday 
morning, and call the newsroom about it... I managed to talk our MC op 
through the process of setting the box to think it was on Eastern time, 
rather than Central, and all was well...

Fortunately, the air automation made it through just fine...
