He stripped-out some features from others' versions, leaving only the most useful... which most of us agree actually made it better (certainly lighter and less resource-intensive). Stoic Joker's version is also the one which most people seem to find works best in Vista. It works in older Windows versions, too, mind you... and, who knows, it may even work in Windows 7 (though I've not tested that yet)... but Stoic Joker's version seems to be the one which gives people the least amount of trouble in Vista... even 64-bit Vista... for whatever that's worth. Sadly, Stoic Joker's web site (from which one may download his version) tends to be down a lot... nearly all the time, lately. He also posted in a forum in early 2009 that he had had a catastrophic system failure of some kind which caused him to lose some of his most recent T-Clock code... so who knows if there will even ever be another, newer version. So, to ensure that the world would always have a reliable place from which Stoic Joker's version could be downloaded (and where useful configuration information could also be found), I mounted my own "unofficial" T-Clock web page. It has no advertising on it, no adware/malware, no gimmicks, no ulterior motives. I'm just trying to help out. So, if anyone's interested in Stoic Joker's version... http://www.greggdeselms.com/tclock.html Enjoy! Gregg L.
