Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / May 2008Chess-type timer
I need an elapsed-time clock that I can easily stop and restart (like a chess clock, that one would reach out and tap). Is there such a thing for Mac OS X?

Also it counts downs rather than up (with analogue ones, you'd set it to 'N' minutes before "midnight"). Not tried it myself, but there's <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15817> > > If you search on stopwatch osx there are more hits that I could post > > urls for.

Anyway, I've found something called Intervals, and that can be controlled with a Mac remote controller, which is handy.

I rember a suggestion once to use a chess clock for ork-meetings - set it to 15 mins each, say your piece then hit the button - the meeting is *guaranteed* to be over in 30 mins ;-) rgds, Alan Signature99 Ducati 748BP, 95 Ducati 600SS, 81 Guzzi Monza, 74 MV Agusta 350 "Ride to Work, Work to Ride" SI# 7.067 DoD#1930 PGP Key 0xBDED56C5 On Tue, 6 May 2008 12:30:49 +0100, D.M.
