The only thing we reset is our microwave. Everything else is plugged into a UPS so they keep power unless it's a really long blackout, which we've never had here.

can never get them all to read the same time so I just leave them alone.
luckily, the tv re-sets itself, just hate to have to wait for it to come back on,seems to take forever, especially if it's in the middle of a good program...

Resetting everything after a powercut.
Oooooo - I hate when that happens! I had to do it twice last week.

Good peeve, Jezer!
