Dick first showed this on TV in 1992 on the Regis show, but is still available. It used to be called the Acclimator, now called the JetLag Watch, which gradually speeds up or slows down during a flight, depending on the direction you're flying, so that you can gradually adapt to the time difference.This is the first Gadget Warehouse Friday, when Dick will talk about an old gadget.
Dick's Gadget Warehouse is a 10' x 10' x 10' room with floor-to-ceiling shelves. When Dick first got the room, the metal racks were available for renting for $10 a month, or for sale at $90. Dick thought long and hard before he picked his option.
