It stinks...bring back the free version. Try a little honesty and stop misleading people with the free version which no longer exists. Thirty dollars for what?? The voice is as dull and lifeless as your new design. Now that is my review...my second review, let's see if this one gets past your censors.

Reviewing 2.20 (Mar 10, 2008)
There's a japanese program that's a little hard to find but is completely free and extremely minimal in resources and download size that does just what this one does. I would even guess this program is based on the source code from that, since it has the exact same capabilities of the variables you can enter to be displayed in the clock tray, not a single added feature. Then they think someone would actually pay $19 for this, when someone else actually did most of the work for them, and for free? Also it's heavier in memory use than it would have. Bad product in all possible ways.

Boy, these other reviews are really old. Just go to the publishers site and get the free classic edition. I've been using it for a while now and it is unobtrusive and you can see what day it is in a glance.

I really like AlphaClock because you can customize what you want to display: date, day of the week, time, free memory... I also like the reminders: I have surprised my wife once letting her a nice message while I was traveling.

I used the original free version for about a year untill I changed PCs and overlooked it in my new set up. Recently I decided to re-install it and ran into this new version. The old saying, "If it works don't fix it" definitely applies here. These people have taken a successful thing and turned it into something bordering on the ugly...they have changed everything, the color now is the usual Fisher-Price/Vista blue and silver. You can set the time to be announced in some foriegn languages if that's importent to you and I believe there is multiple alarm capability; I don't know as I uninstalled it after about an hour...I just couldn't take that dull voice...I miss the friendly little voice I had gotten used to. For example, She used to say "The time is eight O'clock." This new voice says, "It's eight O'clock! Very dull and abrupt sounding. Now for the kicker, these bozos,having ruined a good thing, now want you to pay for something you've used for free for years. Here's the kicker, they want THIRTY BUCKS for this. About eight years ago I sent a $10.00 contribution for the original...I wonder if I get a credit? Yeah, right, Forgetaboutit. They can keep it and their doom and gloom sounding toy clock. I am curious, do they actually get people to pay 30 bucks and more for this thing or do they make all of their money from ads, of which there are plenty. Be careful if you try to download the free version, it will be version 2 when you open it on your pc. These guys are tricky which leads me to believe that there is something afoot here....time will tell. Be vigilent if you dl this thing. Here is a hint to this groups approach..."GuidelinesBetanews reserves the right to remove any comment at any time for any reason". Translation: If you do not talk nice about us, you're outta' here!
