The strange world of PC clocks

Clocks and computers have been as good a combination down the ages as Morecambe and Wise, Salt ‘n’ Pepper (condiment and pop group), Rhubarb and Custard (confectionery and cartoon) and God and the Devil. I’d always been reasonably happy with the little digital display counting away in the bottom right-hand of my screen. Until I realised what choice I had. It’s clocking unbeclockable:

• Binary Clock – Really cool binary time display.
• Amazing Clock – Different time zones, in fruits!
• Picture TimeClock – Photo clock-in to monitor employees. Boooooo. Big Brother.
• PixelBreaker PolarClock – The time in colourful concentric circles. Weird. In a good way.
• ZoneTick World Time Zone Clock – One for the traders. Never sleep, in any time zone.
• Premium Clock – Digital and analogue. Nice simple displays but a little boring for me.
• Weather Clock – The time and the temperature. Bonus!
• Parallaxis Cuckoo Clock – Alarms, schedules, oh, and a cuckoo.
• Coral Clock – A deep-sea diver swimming with fish, and a clock. Handy.
• Naughty Clock Screensaver – Cute cartoons for younger children.
