Key Benefits of HourWorldTM for the Macintosh

What is it Like? Nothing else. HourWorldTM is unique!

Now incorporating GTS® from Global Time Systems, HourWorldTM offers a trusted worldwide time reference, enhanced with time zone animation that adjusts automatically as daylight saving starts and stops in countries around the world.

HourWorldTM provides a world of time, sun and moon information graphically, attractively, and intuitively. A beautiful blend of graphics and text, HourWorldTM deserves a place in your Power Macintosh.

* What time is it in Alice Springs, Australia? How far away is it, and what direction?
 * What is a good time for a conference call with Sydney, Seattle, New York, London, and Manama?
