I believe my microwave is programmed in C. I threw in a Healthy Choice
chicken alfredo, with carrots and broccoli medley, seven minutes ago,
hit cook '5','0','0' and in the half light, mistakenly hit cook again.
Nothing happened. So I hit cook, 5, 0, 0, and then 'start' like a guy
who wants to eat.

It goes past five minutes and down to 4:49 before I say nay. I'm
uncertain whether that's a bad thing that my electronics did exactly
what it was told. EC

Try putting leading zeroes on your cooking time and see if you end up
with octal time.

PEBMAC. Use better fingers.

I can't think of how I'd tell it were octal. I hit 'cook', '0','1','0',
'start', and it seemed to go for ten seconds. Any sequence I've touched
with 'clock' has resulted in error. EC
