I had used JClock for over a year and had never had anyproblems with it, until
MultiFinder came out and JClock would write over MF's small icon.

Now I use Menu clock which just displays the hour and minutes(as opposed to
JClock's Hour minute and seconds), but I am not satisfied.

With JClock, you knew the time no matter what you were doing.  With MenuClock
the clock stops during certain operations such as mousedown and downloads.  I
don't mean that it would lose time, but that it would remain unchanged till
said operations ended and then would display the correct time again.

With JClock, when that happened, it was safe to assume that the system had
crashed, but with menuclock, you never know.

Anybody know of a MF compatible JClock?  Thank you. 

P.S.  Also, you could get rid of JClock if you clicked on it, but you can't
with MenuClock.
