Speaking of Tic Tock,...

I searched the Web Looking for a Large Number StopWatch Clock that I could use on my Regular Windows XP Desktop, that I could run a Huge Overhead Display out of to show a Stop Watch or Time Elapsed to an Audience. I figured there would be Hundreds of them because you can program these things about a dozen different ways, so I figured there should be just OODLES to Choose from Right? WRONG! Seems the only people making StopWatches these days are beginning programmers targeting Palm and Mobile users.

And Oddly one of the Coolest Stop Watches I found that came close to what I was looking for was a Free Flash based Stopwatch only available by using the Web.

But I was unable to save the File to my PC. (It kept wanting to open with Winamp, I can't use it with Winamp)

So why am I ranting and raving about all of this here?
Because I figure this is where all the THINKERS gather to drink their morning Coffee, and maybe I could inspire someone to make a better Timer.

I want a Stopwatch Clock that fills up the entire Desk Top! Works on XP, NOT MOBILE!!! AND is Completely VERSITALE! I mean I want to be able to change every Color in the thing, I want to be able to Change the Fonts, I want the Option to Resize the thing any size I want, I want the Option to Italisize if I want, I want Neon LED Colors, I want Metalic Borders, in several different Shades Bronze, Silver, Black Stainless, Brushed Stainless, get the Idea?

It would be cool if it had several Function Options as well, like with the Click of a Button it would change the Display to a Row of 4 World Clocks (Digital NOT Analog Style).
Count Up and Count Down Options. Maybe with a Seconds display option on or off. And maybe even an Alarm Preset Timer Option on it. And Maybe a Regular Clock Mode. Or maybe the Option to Split the Display into Two Timers (Like for Chess).

See there is a Helll of a lot of work that someone could be doing here. I searched Cnet, Zdnet, and Broad Web Searches using search Engines, why can't I find anything like this?
Are these Concepts Rocket Science here? I don't think so.

Someone who is really Sharp with Programming could probably knock this one out in a weekend. Let me know when you get it done okay?
