The clock activity is wholly independent in my perspective from having a clock in Sugar. We still intend to incorporate that - the overhead of launching an activity is silly. This is, in fact, why I think we need to clarify the use cases for these activities, and having a computer that is actually impersonating a clock is a reasonable thing to want in some cases, but not what you want while you're actively using the laptop. - Eben > There was an idea of having a little clock in the Sugar frame.
