iClock - A more powerful menubar clock
Authored by: magir on Aug 14, '03 08:59:15AM

I really like iClock. The timer is great for people drinking (or making) much tea (that's why 2 and 3 minutes is in the timer menu - I needed it to time my black tea :-). The time zones connected to the weather at that location is useful, too.

The only problem with this software - it's too expensive! Perhaps I would pay 10 bucks for it but 20 is defiantly too much.

By the way - Although it is "non-nagging" some features are disabled after approx. 14 days.

iClock - A more powerful menubar clock
Authored by: Ganymede on Aug 14, '03 10:28:17AM

Gosh, how lucky I am to be able to throw away an extravagant $20 on a mere clock app. Oh, of course, to me it is a nifty controller app - with a fully customizable date-clock on top. I mean, if it were just a clock app, why it would have terrible feature bloat, wouldn't it!
Since I can decide what items appear in the menu, I just liposuct that bloat away to get the lean, mean clock-PLUS that suits me. I guess bloaty is in the eye of the beholder.
Considering the far-ranging, out-of the ordinary, exotic and sometimes downright obscure tips one can find at this site, the 3,000 "more features" seems pretty tame to me (and of course overstated). While not nearly as hip as paring down to the 4 or 5 killer functions (all free, for love, of course - maybe on an empty stomach?), I hardly think it is evidence of laziness (how rude! You didn't even try this app!)
I know I'm kinda old-fashioned, but I like to read those words at the bottom of the registration screen: "Thank you for supporting Mac software."
I do hope that some of the hard-earned $Jacksons$ y'all saved from a bloated software buying binge got redirected to the worthy folks at MACOSXHINTS. Some of the hints here have saved me dozens of hours of frustration and wasted time - worth WAY more than my lunch money. Thanks plenty, Rob - I vote for your orignal POW: 9 out of 10.
By the way, anyone ever heard of CopyPaste? Oh, well never mind - it prolly has too many features.
