---Here is another reason that I now prefer Windows Vista, as compared to Windows XP---(eventhough I actually griped about all the new formats, to everyone and anyone!)---

---bottom right corner of the taskbar is the clock---and I CAN set the time here for 3 (yes - count them - 3!!!) different locations around the world; which is very handy for me to look at, because I DO know a few people that live way across the globe from me---now I can see on each clock when they would be asleep or awake, so as when to instantly message them, etc.---I really like this feature!---(not available on older Windows)---

*i wanted to post this into the forums/news, but it does not allow me.

thank you.

Hi Kikidee,

I believe you have to be skilled or above to start a thread in the News section.

---yes, that is what the notice read, as you quote above---/it seems to me though that maybe no one will look here in the chill-section about pc favorites, and my rave may be useful to other NEW pc/laptop owners who are also trying to get used to using Vista---and---not even know about the clock features---(I just stumbled on it accidentally)---

---THANK YOU for the reply!---(I, and any newcomer would not know how far to look in there, since there are zillion pages in that tutorial section, and it is not under 'C' and not in 'T' )---

Yes it can be a bit overwhelming at times with so many to choose from, but there is a search feature at the top or the way I found it was to look under D for date and time. Then under that are all or most of the links to other tutorials that relate to clocks and dates. Looked through that list for the one I wanted. Just a hint for next time.

Take Care,
Gary

---thank you again---Yes, it is under D, page 5, subsection 'related-links'---(I just assumed that topics are listed alphabetically, and I may have stop looking when I do not see it in the 1st-page/under D - a ---(hopefully this post is still useful to beginners to a pc - and thank you for finding the page for us!)---

---along the note of "Yay-for-Vista"---I also like the feature of being able to ZOOM-in or out (click tab ['Ctrl'] with tab [+] together) while reading some websites---also at this forum when you read some of the 'Vista-Tutorials'-(tab top of this page)---some sheets are sooooooooo mega wide in there! (are they inserted off a big-screen-pc?) that it is useful for me to actually zoom-in (minimize) the page to fit all of it on my 14" screen---and also, I sometimes zoom-out/enlarge the message-box because it is so dinky-small to write into. (in MY opinion)---

I thought the additional clocks were a nice little feature as well when I found them

---yes, and it would also be very useful on the mobile-cell phones (I-Phone) because many ppl also check their internet websites on the phones now too---
