hi,
this is julian again (one of the iclock developers) and i just wanted to mention why iclock has what appears to be non clock and so many features.

when we created iclock we wanted a time hub. something that gave us time and date simultaneously in the menubar. we wanted to see timezones for all the cities that we interact with to improve communication. we wanted alarms that could be set in one click and drag so that they would be simple and therefore used. we wanted a quick calendar that could have pictures and lots of other options and be printed out. a stopwatch was another very obvious feature related to time and that was soon added.

an updated stock portfolio available at a click from the menubar does not seem related to time but it is because stocks change with time. also setting alarms for stocks makes sense. a to do list also may not at first glance appear to be time related but if on the list you want to know when an item is due (and all to do items are due sometime) then it should tell you. this is not implemented yet but mark is working on it.

so iclock has everything to do with time. it sits up in the menubar and gives you powers that no other application does because it integrates many types of functions and this power will be seen as it continues to evolve. it is unobtrusive, it doesn't use much memory, is inexpensive and uses hardly any cpu and yet it is extremely useful to get things accomplished. it for productive people.

thanks again to all the users of iclock for their valuable input.

ps the price of iclock will be going up for unregistered users in the future. so if you don't own it you may want to get it soon. registered users will continue getting free upgrades as they have for the past 4 years.
