I don't know if anybody else is interested but I found a neat "Bluetooth
Clock Radio" that works with my Mogul.

I bought it from FYE Electronics for $89 since it was on closeout.

I can even use it to wake to "Music from a Mogul" if I want to.

I made a decision a while back that I would not buy anything that is still
using seven segment readouts. They're ugly and primative and should have
vanished twenty years ago with the invention of the embedded microprocessor.

I think of them as "retro." ;-)

Besides, "if it ain't broke..." What other technology is as cheap and
easily readable from across a dark room? Certainly not backlit LCD!

I forgot to tell you the best part about it.

The adapter is 12 volts and it has the exact same plug on it that I have on
a car adapter so that means I have a way to use it in my car too.

I put it on the floor in front of the passenger seat so I could use it as an
external stereo speakers and when I placed a phone call I found out it makes
a very good speaker phone too.

Try to beat that for the price.
