hi ed besides the ms clock in the taskbar, i keep a half dozen norton system doctor sensors displayed on my desktop in an area about the size of a business card. the current date and time sensor (postage stamp size) displays a calendar format, along with digital hour, minute and second display. the calendar color and display font used by this sensor can be customized. it's pretty sufficient for me. but upon closer inspection of the freeware link you provided, i did observe an eye-catching logo... users.iafrica.com ... so i have bookmarked the site and will give the program a closer look. maybe it'll replace the coveted symantec ticker. [edit in: btw, the 'nerd inside' hyperlink takes you to a 'slashdot... news for nerds... stuff that matters' slashdot.org ] thanks ed :) mark

Speaking of versatile windows clocks... I just installed a freebie called transparent clock from ZDnet. It's a very simple digital display that has no background. Therefore one can place it in other program windows to show the current time to the second placed right where you want it. It doesn't get covered up by the program and at the same time it doesn't cover up anything. I put it in my brokerage trading interface where I find it very handy to have the current time displayed. zdnet.com BTW I also installed TClock earlier in the week to display the system clock with date. It also monitors system and memory usage resources and continuously displays them in the system tray, though I haven't investigated these features yet. Esteban
