Most programs do have a flag or setting to turn off clocks, etc but some don't and not everyone who uses them will know to just hack the source code to avoid the clocks, etc. Having this feature would make it a little easier for the newbie. I personally prefer the hack coding to avoid blinking status bars, etc but that is my personal approach. Best regards. -- We are writing this e-mail to inform you that the mail server is down.
