Greg, I have enjoyed BinaryClock tremendously. Playing with it inspired
me to search the web for other implementations to play with. I'm proud
to say that, after reviewing a number of different implementations,
I found your Euphoria program to be outstanding!
Yet, I must admit I felt like cursing you the morning after I
discovered the simple charms of BinaryClock. I stayed up all
night watching those cute little led's blink, exploring the
code to your program and others, and learning to read binary clocks.
I was amazed at how quickly I begin to recognize position patterns of
numerical equivalents, bypassing the conscious mathmatical step of
adding digit values to read the time. Frankly, I doubt that
binary clocks are *inherently* more difficult to understand and
"read" than analog sweep hand clocks. It's interesting how our
habits effect our perception.
I have read reports of studies which indicate that mental challenges
inhibit the onset of alzheimer's disease. After playing arround with
BinaryClock, a little led flickered in my brain 
... Perhaps I
should invest in a company focused on selling binary watches and
clocks to geriatrics in nursing homes! Cornering that market should
bring in a tidy sum, eh?
Two minor suggestions:
1 - note in your program description that it runs perfectly under
Linux with Wine.
2 - Announce your Euphoria programs on Freshmeat.
Thanks again for all your Euphoria contributions.
