Default Real time countdowns

Hi
NOW() just gives you the current system time. What is the exact problem
with this function?

Note: I don't think Excel is the right tools for doing this :-)

Can I embed a clock into a spreadsheet or use the system clock to

give me real time countdowns against predicted times ( the NOW function
is too unwieldy). This is for monitoring rounding marks in yacht
racing, are the boats in different classes ahead or behind predicted
time limits. Does anyone have any suggestions????
I am using Excel 2000 pro.
