I have been using JClock.31, the init you put in the system folder, for
several months with no problems in a system with a hard disk. I just put it
on 2 Mac SE's at work with Pyro. I first tried something called MenuTimeInit
but the time stays on the screen when Pyro blanks it. With JClock.31 I can at
least turn off the time by click on it but this isn't ideal. Is Menu Clock 3.0
something different or a newer version of MenuTimeInit? I WOULD like something
that works with BIG screens because we are getting 2 SuperMac SuperView
monitors installed today.
Where can I get Menu Clock 3.0?
