Here is a handy one. Don't know if the url will work so here is an image. It is location configurable.

For those of you interested in a U.S. time zone and time link, this one is great. No ads and you can adjust it to your own time zone and see a visual sun pattern of the zone. Cool. Plant a shortcut on the desktop and always be in sync.

Is it the same day and time in Florence, Italy as it is in California?

[Deke40]

These are not the same cities but the times are the same.

Looks like about 9 hours ahead of us. Thanks Deke

Hi buddhafabio

I clicked on the cnn link you posted and a popup for 'Shockwave' came up.
I already have 'Shockwave' installed.
I clicked on the upper right corner to close the popup window and 'Shockwave ' installed anyway.
Then a series of blue screen and hard lock ups.

Anyone else have a problem with that link?


I'm ok now, I flipped a recent drive image on.

Also interesting is that I had downloading in IE disabled, if that even makes a difference. I would have thought that would have stopped the download.

Jack-I just tried the link and got this:

This feature uses Shockwave. If you don't have it, get it here.

I had the white blank square with the little mutiple colored square in the top left corner.

Hi Deke,

I already had Shockwave before clicking on that link(the CNN link).
And I did not have the icon you referred to.
I tried the link again, same pop up window.
That's with my firewall blocking everything.

I looked into taskmanager and saw nothing relating to a Shockwave download.

The only way I got rid of the popup was to close the CNN link.
I assume the 'download' must have been in the CNN web page to begin with.

Any other time I have installed a plugin I remember a security warning poping up in windows .

With all the hacking going on, one gets a bit paranoid
