I like how Vista displays multiple time zones. It would be helpful here since there are telecommuters spread out in many time zones, in addition to occasional work overseas. All of the machines here are running some flavor of XP though. What can be done to get that in XP?

I was aware that such things exist. But I want something that integrates with the OS, like how Vista has it.

the analog clocks but not the system clock. don't think one can port the system clock.

widget system then. By default, XP does not integrate any of this stuff. You can find many "sidebar" like programs to mimic the effect.

I am aware that that there is such a widget/gadget for any of the numerous bars out there. I have also heard that they drain a great deal of computer resources. Installing one of those is something I want to avoid if possible.

Now I can get it in XP.

Thanks to all of those who made suggestions.

What I decided on does not perfectly replicate what is offered in Vista, which has a nice interface and is eassier on the eyes. But the basic function is there. Timezone from MS.

and then once function is achieved, worry about if the wife will like it =\

in my opinion its better to have the job done right, even if their are rough edges, then to have a Hollywood looking solution that misses the mark by a few feet.

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", "as such", or "just as that". In writing, it is placed within square brackets and usually italicized?[sic]?to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, punctuation, and/or other preceding quoted material has been reproduced verbatim from the quoted original and is not a transcription error.[1]

I wasn't sure if the TR parser would let me use, ...wait, let's try it - phallusy (except of course, for the written joke to work it is required that a genuine word be used, which 'phallusy' is not.

Ergo ~[sic]~ indicating the word as read, not as spelled.
