TClockEx is perfectly stable. It has never been any kind of problem for
me.


Seconded. (I _very_ occasionally find it has gone away - i. e. the
default Windows clock is back - but running it again restores normality;
I _think_ it's only, generally, when some other aspect of Windows has
caused something to disrupt lots, normally closing many of the items in
the tray as well. It's possible it only happens on one of the four
machines [including two '98 ones] I run it on - it's so rare, and easily
fixed, that I haven't bothered to try to track anything down.)

I like the popup calendar too: that fact that it disappears when you do
almost anything else I thought would be irritating, but is actually a
boon.

I haven't tried Tclock.

I was going to say, just for interest, what memory and CPU resources
TClockEx is using on this computer, but unless I bring up its properties
window, I can't see it in the list of running processes. In fact it's
most odd - I just tried turning it off (it really was off, the boring
clock came back) and then back on again, and the number of running
processes didn't change.
