I hate clocks on websites. Unless it tells it's own time, what I mean by that is usually my clock on my mac is wrong therefore so is the website

eh? why don't i have the clock on my site?
But yeah - that clock was particularly well done, if I recall correctly - even down to the slight recoil on the hands, no?
- yep, it's the recoil that makes it.kingsteven
- recoil is cute, but why perpetuate old technology quirks? (Analog doesn't have to be a represenation of a pysical clock).ribit
- ..physical clock).ribit
- ... because it's cute?kingsteven
- More to the point - why not?
Look at the clocks in PUO's link - none have recoil and are characterless for it.Nairn
