Time screensaver

I would like to know how to have my screen saver in OS 10.3.x display the
current time, if possible.

This one's close -- it's meant to be a travel alarm clock (for an iBook)
and has a few other features that you might be able to turn off:

Thanks! I'll give it a try. Sadly, if it works, it means the retirement of
my Color Classic which I use for storing recipes in my kitchen, but mostly
just display the time.

I'll just have to find another use for it.

What? You're going to put an OS-X machine in your kitchen? Seems like
an expensive kind of clock.... <?>

Anyway, let us know how that screensaver works... I might want to get it
for my iBook for travelling.

Well, it's more like this: It's the only machine I have left running
Microsoft Works, and it's the only machine I have that isn't "New World"
which means OS 9 or above. Since OS 9 is screensaver unfriendly (I miss
"After Dark"), I'm going to convert the files to AppleWorks and find a G3
PowerBook to replace it.

I've looked at the package, and it looks nice. Haven't played with it yet.

Well, I've replaced the Color Classic, and installed the Travelers Clock
screensaver. It works great! You can resize the font size, it has white
sound for those who need it, and there are alarms as well. It was just what
I was looking for, and at only $5.00 it is cheap.
