"Officially" you can only put icons there. I wrote a program called
TClockEx that modifies the clock display, specifically to be able to
display the date along with the time, but in theory it could be used
to display any text you like. What did you have in mind?

Your market research is wrong! I am not interested in your product.
Don't add me to your mailing list and don't ask me to "reply to
remove myself". Just leave me alone.
