This is wonderful! It's just what the world needs, a little bit of history and beauty in a sea of technology. It will be on my desktop forever! Great job, and keep making similar Widgets if you have time.

Thank you for your personalized help, Gary! The widget works wonderfully, now. I LOVE it. God bless!!!

Gary: On an Intel iMac with Mac OS X 10.4.9 and K 4.0.3x177 the Widget (still) crashes whenever it tries to chime or toll. The play() command causes a divide by zero exception. Perhaps you could use QuickTime Player on the Macintosh to avoid the play() command.

I'd been missing this clock for a long, long time, so I finally downloaded it again about a week ago (version 1.21). It just won't chime. I've tried several things, different settings, etc. Gary, others, help? (Will add my four-star rating as soon as it's fixed! I used to love this widget!) Thanks!

Well I just discovered the solution I gave down below is not the real reason why BigBen is working. The [.widget] decided to work properly and the transfer of [.kon] has nothing to do with it. What did I do to make it works? Don't know. Maybe it is Elizabeth1st who came out from the innermost depths of eternity to help her greatest frenchglish fan on earth: ME! Might be that.

Anyway, BigBen is still BiiiiiiiingBoooooinging in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Magnifique!
