This is a comparison between the CT-660E (English) and CT-660G (German) versions of the world's first solid-state talking clock, released by Sharp in 1979, including a bit where my German clock freaks out and does things it's not supposed to do.

    When he said knfb reader I got that this is an old podcast.

    These clocks are pretty neat. My friend has one of these and I've always wondered what it was, but never bothered to ask for some reason. Thank you!

    I love it, especially the bit when the clock freaked out. Thanks for sharing man.

    This must be an old recording because in your intro you mention the iPhone 6. For the record to this date the iPhone 6 was the thinnest iPhone ever made up until the iPhone air came out last year. And what a nice touch using the sharp notification beep for the music in the intro.
