Today's free file is an oldie but a goodie: 1st Clock Light from Green Parrots Software. This is one of the first programs I install when setting up a new Windows box. Why? Quite simply because one of the number one annoyances in Windows (at least for me) is the fact that the tray clock only lists the time, not the date, day of the week, month or year. You'd think after so many generations of Windows, Microsoft would have added those options, right? Nope. And, yes, there are a handful of low-priced utilities that add clocks with more features than 1st Clock Light, including, natch, the full version of 1st Clock. But I just can't bring myself to pay anything for this; it seems like a feature that should be available in the OS. (Oh, and Mac users, here's one where you can't gloat: the Mac menu clock is just as useless. Your best bet is PTH Clock, which was free, but is now part of the commercial You Control package. However, the old, free version is still available here.)
