| 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.alfasoftweb.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
clipboard 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
shareware. Which means that you get to download and "test-run"
the program free of charge. So
