Default The worst Code Ever

Hi Jacob,
Excel makes for a very inefficient and expensive clock. regardless of whether
you are looking at the clock or not, it going to severely interfere with Excel. Perhaps
with lots of RAM and a fast machine it would look better. I have more RAM than before but
I'm not going to experiment to see if it still makes Excel really bad, I would suggest
that you install something on the Status Bar to give you the seconds that you don't
see otherwise.

and if you need something to sync your time
http://tf.nist.gov/service/its.htm look for Windows 32bit

More information on my datetime.htm page, but you have the links to actual sites above.

If you want something more customized you can use a Java Applet on a web page
of your own. example http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/ie/javaclock.htm
I don't think the links are good anymore you may have to a Google search
Java Applet time countdown countup timer.
actually the link is good may be different that the original --
http://timeanddate.com/counters/newyear.html
(and the time shown matches my Atomic clock -- receives radio signal from WWV)

I doubt that you would be able to convert you Excel page with ontime to a web page anyway
by saving it as HTML..

OK I think that I've got the record for the WORST code EVER.

I wanted to build a spreadsheet that would automatically become a webpage.
