first of all thnx for the link and the great comments! Really like the response so far to this thing, that started out merely as a joke for our office interior.
Anyway a few quick answers on the Pong clock.

About the screensaver option:
This is already made and I will put it online soon, so people can download it, to customize their pc's etc...

Setting for the current version is very easy, since for this current prototype it's not neccesary. it runs of the internal clock of the motherboard.

Production version: it's on the way, we were working on it already as an offside project, now we simply need to speed things up, by the looks of it :-).
It will work of one single chip and one lcd screen. You will set it just like your 'normal alarm clock' with 4 push buttons
We're thinking on incorporporating a alarm function in it is well to make you awake in the morning with the famous pong sound :-)

Nice screensaver.
But i would appreciate an credit line in your Pong Clock screensaver. For instance a text line reading: orginal idea by Buro Vormkrijgers.nl

I understand i can not keep people [like you] from beating us to it. After all the idea is quite simple. And I do not want to make a big fuss out of it either, since it's only the internet. And in a way, yes, i'm flattered by your copy.
However.... I would still appreciate the gesture...

Thank you in advance,

Sander Mulder
