The latest operating system for Windows-based computers is Windows Vista. It’s quite a bit different from its predecessor, Windows XP. Some people love it, some people hate it, but there’s no denying it has some cool new features.
One that I find particularly useful for travelers is the ability to have multiple clocks. I never wear a watch any more. I’m always at my computer, so I just look to the lower right of the screen to see what time it is. Now, with Windows Vista, I get 3 clocks. I can set each of them to anyplace in the world. I was inspired to write about this because our friend, George, from the popular RVing blog, Vagabonders-supreme.net, is leaving for Israel today. I think I’d like to see what time it is in Jerusalem. Watch the 2 minute video below and I’ll show you how.

I download it at http://nonags.com but it probably is avaible elsewhere.
