Phil,

I guess I am one of those don't care types much of the time :-) .

I have a watch on my wrist - it is used when I want to know what time it 
is.
I for one have no use for a clock in a radio.  If I am logging when 
portable, my watch tells me all I need to know and does not take up 
display space on the radio.
Usually I don't care what time it is unless I have an appointment - my 
stomach tells me when it is time to eat.  I am retired, and the work 
that I do is on my own schedule.

I usually know where I am, but if not, I try first to consult with a map 
- can't stand those GPS units that tell you what to do and where to turn 
- give me a map where I can see my "to" and "from" and I can navigate 
just fine, thank you.

73,
Don W3FPR
