Isn't it possible to write an INIT... I'm sorry... AN EXTENSION...
that short circuits Ballon Help or at least adds a new menu item to
Balloon Help that disables it?

Let's assume that you want Balloon Help as well as your menu bar
clock.  Is there a way to locate the menu slot to the LEFT of Ballon
Help and somehow add the clock there?  Obviously clocks like
SuperClock would have to be rewritten but hey... that's not so bad.
Be nice to have Balloon Help AND a menu clock.

Oh... I really like "Its Just a Clock" but you nkow what this app
should REALLY do?  It should float the clock in front of all windows
regardless of the topmost key window so that you always know what time
it is... much like a menu bar clock.
