Re: Desktop timer software?

[Gregory P Sweet <gps03 -at- health -dot- state -dot- ny -dot- us>]

Hi Nancy,

I really like PC Chrono http://www.highspheres.com/products/pc_chrono/ and
use it all the time to keep my synchrnonous classes on track. I
particularliy like that it runs as a portable app from my thumb drive so no
matter where or when I am teaching I've got my timer.
