1st Clock Light - Free file of the day
by Marc Perton Sep 1st 2005
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.)
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
