What is Clock2000?
A clock that shows how long it is 'til year 2000.
What does it require?
- AmigaOS 2.0
Installation
What installation? :)
Why was it created?
Once again there was a program on telly, which reminded
of this 'year 2000 bug' (computers going berserk when we
enter to the next millennium). So I decided to make a clock
which would show how much time the PCs (and bad software)
have left.
How do you mean next millennium?
As a programmer, I (very logically) think that decades
begin with year 0 and end in year 9, just as table indices
in programming languages. So year 2000 is the beginning
of a new millennium and not an end of this one.
How do I use it?
Just run it and let it tell you the time! :)
The clock window
On the top of the window, you can see current date and time.
On the bottom of the window, there's a counter which shows
how much it is 'til year 2000.
In the middle is a clock display. The longest hand (I want to
say pointer!) which is blue, shows you the seconds of current
minute. The shorter hand (white) shows you the minutes of the
day. And the shortest hand (colour varies depending of the
year) shows you how many days has passed since 1-Jan-97.
