- The Clinton Countdown Clock

- You may have seen some other "Clinton" programs around that
- give how many days are left of the Clinton regime (including a DOS
- program that I wrote anonymously about a year ago). This program,
- however, is the ULTIMATE! It counts down by the second, accounting
- for daylight savings time and time zones across the U.S. !!! It is
- a Windows program and you can have it in the corner of your screen
- to remind you that there *will* be an end of Clinton. A
- non-sophisticated DOS version is also on the same EXE. Once you
- get it running, set the time zone (it will automatically assume
- daylight savings time in summer, so it may appear to be an hour
- slow - but it isn't slow, the times should be right).
-
- Please send me $10 if you like this program! It is easy
- just to keep this program on your desktop, forgetting and putting
- off sending in the $10, so please send it as soon as possible.
- Support the anti-Clinton, anti-Socialist movement! Thanks.

- AS AN ADDED BONUS:
-
- If you have an HP 48G/GX calculator (definitely worth the
- money, IMO), here's a Clinton program that you can put on it (sorry,
- it won't work on the SX) if you want to get the count of days of
- Clinton "on the run." The number of days will not be the same as
- CLINTCC.EXE gives because this calls the first day "DAY 1" (rather
- than "0 Days, 0 Hours, 0 Minutes, 2 Seconds" into the administration)
- and it doesn't account for time zones/12:00 PM innauguration. Thus,
- it might be a difference of up to 2 days.

-
- P.S. If you want to make your HP play music through its speaker,
- it's possible! Just program in the frequencies (middle C is 523,
- D 587, E 659, F 698, G 784, A 880, B 988; every octave is twice
- the frequency i.e. high C 1046) and the lengths (quarter note is
- about .33 seconds), and use the BEEP function (523 .5 BEEP plays
- middle C for half a second). It's quite an attention-getter!
