here is the CLOCKFACE script...coded in 3 MINUTES...17 LINES of CODE

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Scott,

I'm afraid preOpenCard instead of openCard will not solve the problem.
In the worst case, you will have to wait 9 seconds to see the minutes  
hand correctly positionned and almost 2 minutes for the hours one.

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
