A self-made multimillionaire/owner of an all suites hotel company once said: "Bob, free is a good price." lol I've realized since that there are many commercial products exceptions: large bold print [written by marketing] gives while fine print [written by corporate attorneys] takes away.

I have a blank-faced analog clock with no hands on it.

That way, I can always tell when it's coffee o'clock. It works for bacon, too.
