Hmmm. I've just discovered that Jonathan Sach's Stoptime is no longer being supported because of problems with new PPCS - http://home.attbi.com/~jonsachs/

Looks like I might have to check this one out as I find a simple to use count-down timer is essential at work.

I'm in the Quick-Serve Restaurant business. I use this almost every day, to time speed of service through the drive-thru's of all my restaurants.

Looking for a review? Here's a VERY comprehensive one I did about a year and a half ago (keep in mind there was no PPC2002 then).

From the review:

"Timekeeper is a recent addition to Conduits' Pocket PC software collection designed to offer a creative and comprehensive timing tool for the everyday consumer. While there is a clock function built into every Pocket PC, there was no built in program to offer freedom beyond just minutes, hours, and days. As with any programs that cater to very basic functions, like timing, they tend to be hit and miss. Fortunately, Conduits hit the mark fairly close on their first attempt."

"All in all, Timekeeper is a convenient program that can satisfy the taste of simple and complex users all at the same time. I especially enjoyed the program's ability to export data directly to Word or Excel. However, I found the lack of documentation on creating original activities and adding/removing timers from multiple timing activities to be incredibly frustrating. If you have a stellar use for a great timer, it shouldn't take you too long to go purchase it right away...but you might want to time yourself to make sure."
