Just to make this complete, I have used JClock on a Mac II... While it
doesn't crash (as long as you don't try to remove it), it doesn't behave
exactly as advertised either...

I installed JClock, and rebooted, as nothing seemed to happen. A while later,
I noticed some glitches at the top center of my menubar.  I looked real
close, and yep, there it was, JClock --- the only problem was that it was
using something like one or two point type.  Other than that one "tiny" 
glitch, it worked fine (tho it is no longer on my system)
