Need a clock that shows specific time zones


In my part time job, I have about 15 people that I need to email constantly. I have a lot of trouble keeping straight what time it is where they are. They are scattered across the globe. I need an app that will let me enter names and gmt+/-n data for them. Something that uses few resources and can sit in the kicker and pop up when clicked. Don't need fancy, just first names (or screennames) and what time it is at their location, based on my local clock.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tim

I think you would most likely find something like that in the arena of ham radio software for Linux. They (ham radio enthusiasts) would need to know the local time in all parts of the world in order to call others of the ham radio community at a time they would be monitoring their radios.

Thanks a bunch for the quick reply. Wouldn't happen to know any specific SW to recommend, would you? Or forums to visit?

Actually, Amateur Radio operators reference time to UTC.
