A lovely old application, once a standard on board programme with the Mac 8/9 OS's (less the city information).
For me, the enjoyment of this application is to see the Sun's shadow over the poles as the seasons change due to the Earth's axial tilt (of about 23.4°) known as the "obliquity of the ecliptic".
To have major cities of our world shown with shading depicting either daylight or morning /evening twilight is truly magic.

Can I put the most important towns to me, e.g. 3 in the USA, 3 in Europe, 1 in the MIddle East, 6 in Asia/Russia, Australia, NZ, 4 Islands = about 20 places and when I hover over them it shows me what time it is there?

How many clocks can be set?
When I've set e.g. 20 clocks/cities. Can I delete one and all the other clocks then automatically shift one place or do I have to replace one by one every clock to fill up the gap?

You know you can set your Mac to use the super-exact atomic time from the government's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Internet Time Service (IST)? Go to http://www.ustiming.org/?page_id=22 and paste the correct URL/IP into your Date & Time Control Panel.

The information which this program provides is excellent. It also requires ongoing maintenance from the developer. The interface could be better (and perhaps the developer is working on a cocoa version); however, it works. If you just want eye candy, go get some widgets.
