2) I already have the freeware program “T Clock Lite” sitting in my tray: it executes on start-up and shows me the day and date as well as the time. So in the install options for Chronograph, I ticked the hide to tray and moved the shortcut into the QuickLaunch toolbar.

3) Unlike others here, I have had problems with XP’s time synchronisation in the past and repeated failures. Chronograph worked immediately.

4) I also have the freeware “Just a Calendar” as a quicklaunch icon. With Chronograph in the tray though, mousing over it brings up a calendar immediately.

5) Memory usage of 13292k is more than I want to allocate so now that synchronisation is complete, I’ve turned off Chronograph: it’s done its job for today and I don’t need a background resource hogger.

6) Tomorrow I’ll QL it again, synchronise, and exit.

7) Verdict: in my case, this software has done what it set out to do.

8) Would I buy it? No. The price is idiotically over-the-top compared with that being asked by the developers of Chronos Clock.

9) Summary: thanks GAoTD for this, and thanks to the deveoloper for allowing it to be “road tested”.

Addendum: to all those asking for Adobe PhotoShop, or Qark Express, or Microsoft Windows Vista OS to be available for free download here, I do sympathise. But why are your requests so limited in scope? It should surely be easy for GAoTD to offer you a free Porsche, or a free Ferrari, at least once a week.

Frank Drebin (#182) – Please tell me you’re kidding. :>

Jokker (#196) – Pardon my nitpicking, but I believe that would be 11 MB ;>

Also, if you have it boot on startup, sync, and close, it’ll complain that there’s no connection, abort the sync, and remain running instead of waiting for it. (it takes a second for my WAN card to find the network and connect, and it’s a horrible card so I use batch files to disable it when I shutdown and re-enable on startup or I won’t be able to boot except in safe mode)

TimeSync will wait for the connection and do everything normally.

I would LOVE it if it was given (ok… i am a geek)

3DS Max or Photoshop both are extremely expensive, but of course there have been even more expensive software on GAOTD..

I would love it if 3Ds Max was on here! ^__________^
