[Logic] Changing the Time

Carl:

Boy I am slapping myself as I continue to be drawn in here, but setting the
clocks in the house is a hassle, yet easily done. However none of the house
clocks have a computer with $100+ logging software which could/should do it.
Furthermore, a noticeable number of LOGIC users seem to find this an issue.
And finally, figuring out those two clicks is a P.I.T.A. for those of us who
don't
remember "the drill" (menu, scroll, peek/poke, menu, scroll, peek/poke,
menu,
scroll, peek/poke, "oh here it is! click-click". "Hmmm, how many of my
records
need to be edited?!?")
