Morgan is right, the clock version was done entirely by Prolific, and took no time away from anything I was working on. Regarding pricing -- This is entirely up to Prolific. Personally, I feel the same way as most of you, that prior customers should be rewarded by receiving discounts on upgrades. For example, I like Debabelizer, and bought the Mac version several years ago. It's a handy little conversion utility that should sell for about $49, but instead sells for $449. The fact that I already bought the Mac version carries no weight now that I need the PC version, it's still $449. (Adding to this frustration is the fact that the price of the original copy, as well as all the work I did on the Mac, was totally wasted when the game machine I was developing for went under.)

An informal poll done by Prolific seems to show that people either love the clock version or hate it -- there's no middle ground.
