Yes. An interesting coincidence . . . but then you seem to Beta test for a lot of
noteworthy stuff. Goran has some nice utilities. In regard to World Clock, my use
for it (so far) has been very occasional at best. Ordinarily, I like digital
displays -- they're compact and to the point. But in this case, I dunno, I guess I
was kinda hoping for something like the array of clocks tuned to different cities,
like you see in many newsrooms. But, in order to be legible, that would take up too
much screen real estate.

Thanks for the tip.

Well, I take your point, but hard drives are high-precision items with small moving
parts, whose manufacture (at high q.c. levels) would seem to be especially
demanding. Clean rooms, skilled workers, stuff like that. It is one of the
components you want to be as reliable as possible and to last for several years.
