Description of AlfaClock Free

Ancient Egyptians used the shadow clock (gnomon) to determine correct time. The Greeks used the water clock, or clepsydra. The first mechanical clock appeared in the fourteenth century. Then, in 1929 first electronic timepieces appeared. As time changes, so do the time-keeping devices. Now, in the beginning of the third millennium, the most precise time can be displayed only by the atomic clock. And thanks to the Internet and AlfaClock from www.alfaclock.com, you can have the atomic clock right on your desktop. At first glance, AlfaClock is a regular taskbar clock (sometimes called "tray clock"). But that is just your first impression. This tray clock combines multitude of cool features with stylish design. First, you can set AlfaClock to display time, date and day of the week simultaneously. Second, you can customize AlfaClock to announce this information periodically. And you can set an alarm - a very handy feature, if you frequently keep losing track of time, while using your computer. Atomic Clock Synchronization feature allows you to periodically connect to atomic clock time servers to make sure that your computer displays correct time and adjust it automatically, if necessary. Correct time may be critical to some computer users - for example, to professional eBay bidders, who make their final bids thirty seconds before the auction closes. AlfaClock has quite a few of extra features that other taskbar clocks don t have. Like copy time/date to clipborad feature. Or a fully customizable pop-up calendar. Created to ISO8601 specifications, it allows you to change the first day of the week, highlight weekends and holidays. AlfaClock takes very little system resources and is fully compatible with all Windows versions - Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP. Now, here comes the best part. AlfaClock is a Freeware. So download your copy right now, or visit www.alfaclock.com

  Strengths: Being stuck with the tiny, nearly invisible Microsoft "clock" is no longer the only option without extensive spam, malware and ads! AlfaClock Free has arrived, FINALLY! Strengths include ability to make the clock as large or small as you wish in your systray, include what parts of date and time you wish displayed, have a calendar you can open up to see where you are in the month, and even have your computer say the time and date in any order (long, short, including or excluding year, day, date, etc) any way you wish. The interface is customizable with fonts and colors.

  Weaknesses: Would like to have the ability to stack the clock, say have the day of week on top, second line would be the date, last line would be the time. Don't know if that's possible.

  Overall Evaluation: I've been waiting for this since I first joined the internet at home (as opposed to just at work where you didn't get much choice) in 2000. I'm so glad you've arrived. I can't stand Microsoft's idea of a clock. Also, not everyone was born with 20/20 vision, nor do those who were, keep it. It's wonderful to be able to pump up the size. And I always like customizing. I don't see any drawbacks. Perhaps time will tell, as it were. :) Thank you!!!!

  Strengths: Lots of tweaks, can set it however you like. Great little program.

  Weaknesses: A little complex.

  Overall Evaluation: Like I said this is a great program, it should haave came this way. It's a little complicated getting started but even without the help menu you could figure it out. With the help menu it just takes a little readign and your on your way.
