"The Gift Of The Year"
As noted by a previous reviewer, the Olympia InfoGlobe is indeed an object of wonder for all who see it. With it's rotating date/time, caller ID information, and pre-programmed/self-programmed messages, it is fascinating to watch.
The InfoGlobe allows you to program up to 3 personal messages to appear daily or on selected dates, and also has several timely greetings built-in. It also has a "snooze" feature that allows you to set it to go off at a certain time and back on at another (so as to prolong item life, and also for those who may not be able to sleep with it on).
The motor is a bit noisy, but is only really noticable when there are no television, conversation, etc. It's noise level is comparable to that of an ionizer, and one does get used to it very quickly.
The caller ID does not always show information for incoming calls (it fails to acknowledge roughly 1 out of 10 calls), but this may be due to the activity taking place when the call comes in. The InfoGlobe has some great effects it employs to bring the characters on and off the "screen", and it is a joy to watch.
The InfoGlobe is easy to program and comes with both the AC power cord and a 9V battery for backup.
Great gift for yourself as well as others!
