Wasting time in search of a clock
There are days when I miss running Classic. Not many, but a few. And it isn't so much that I miss the old operating system, but some of the fun things that used to be available for it. In particular, a wonderful package from Berkeley Software called After Dark, and more specifically, the Clocks module from After Dark.
The clock was a nice, floating clock, that slowly moved around the screen, ticking (or morphing) away the seconds. Alas, After Dark became rather broken sometime around MacOS 8.6, and is now a distant memory for most OS X users. The days of a simple clock that told time, and told it well, as a screensaver, seem to be long gone. Sigh...
