[Electronics-talk] Talking clock for the computer

Thu May 10 18:58:14 UTC 2012

I don't know it's name, but google something like west minster chime for the computer.

I used to have it on my PC and I've forgotten what it's called now, but one exists.

It basically chimes the standard West Minster Chimes on the hour and quarter hours to give you an idea of what time it is.

It sounds like a grandfather clock.  

It doesn't talk, but you still know what time it is getting to be.
