Anybody recommend a clock for my pc?

Hi all

I need a clock to sit on my pc while I'm working as I keep losing track of the time.

Can anyone recommend something that is suitable, that won't hog resources, is fairly lightweight but might have a couple of features like alarms or calendar please?

I've tried a couple on CNET but found both to be pretty dire. Rather go on an MSE recommend.

Cheers all

Oh, and preferably free?

    This is a physical clock to go on top of your monitor, or a bit of software which provides a clock simulation, visible on your monitor?

    If the latter, which version of Windows do you have? Aren't you happy enough with the hh:mm clock at the bottom right in XP, or the Clock gadget in Vista?

    I must admit I was a tad baffled at them getting a PM about a clock!
