Thanks and I just downloaded a few to try. Ed, I tried to get the one
called "countdown timer" on your site, but it appears to be a dead link. I
did get the other one though. I don't use dashboard, BUT will file that
info away and perhaps try it later with dashboard. :)
Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions.
-Dan

Subject: Re: [NTLK] Looking for a simple countdown timer
as far as a countdown timer goes, there is one called
ecount.pkg. I don't know who it's from, but I have it
on my server (link is titled countdown timer)
There is also Big by S. Weyer. It's claim to fame is
that it's a huge (landscape view) timer that you can
see from across the room. It's also on my server
titled bigcountdown.pkg.
There's also a dashboard script that allows you to
create a countdown timer as well. It's at the
dashboard site (see a previous post)
for the other stuff I mentioned, go:
http://newton.tek-ed.com
with your Newt, click on the pkg and download/install
it directoy into your Newt!
