Can anyone recommend a clock for Windows XP? Preferably translucent.
(I miss the clock that came with Windows 3.x. You could make the clock as big as you wanted - at one job I had a second computer that I almost never used, so I just made the clock fill the whole screen and left it that way.)

Does anyone here use Compressor 2? I'm trying to test its standards conversion capabilities, and the damn thing keeps crashing. This is on a dual 2Ghz computer with 2.5GB RAM.
Searching "Compressor crash" and "Compressor close" on the Apple support site yields no results, so apparently this sort of thing Just Doesn't Happen. Any advice?
[eta that I've found a few relevant discussions in the Apple forums, but nobody seems to have ANSWERED any of them, so not very helpful.]

I haven't tried this, but it looks promising: [link]

I know it shouldn't, but it cracks me up that the 3XL size is backordered.

Oh, I want something I can just stick on the desktop or in the corner of the screen. That displays in the system tray, which I keep hidden.
Another clock: [link]....
Ooh, those are what I want - thanks!
Anyone know of a good group calendar that will work across many versions of windows? I tried to some simply outlook sharing with some folder synching software - but one of the computers on the Network is a really old one with NT 4.0. And Outlook 2000 keeps locking up on that one once the sharing program is enabled. It is a three computer network. I started with Outlook sharing cause they already know and love Outlook, but decided an exchange server would be a little too much for them - over kill for a three computer network in any case, and a pain for people who are not computer literate to maintain.
There are some simple programs out there that will keep multiple versions of outlook synched, but the clients for them don't seem to work well on NT. I thought of steering them to web based, but none of the major firewalls out there let you keep current on NT 4.0 - not zone alarm, MacAfee or Norton. But we are able to do simple printer and file sharing between the two XP computers and the NT one - so there ought to be something that will work.
Ok. I think my hard drive on my laptop is about to blow. I'm backing up as much as I can before it dies, but I don't think I'm gonna be able to back up iTunes. Will I be able to sync my iPod with iTunes on another computer and not lose everything?
vw, I've been able to sync my iPod with iTunes on a couple of computers. But try to save your library if you can, because iPods have been known to "erase" songs wholesale (it's happened to me once in 3 years, and I've heard of one other time it's happened). If that happens, you have to reset the iPod completely, which causes you to lose everything on the iPod.
