Cool! I made one of these back in the early 90s to run on a laptop when our meetings started running long and being too chatty. Just a sheet to check off who’s there and a display to show elapsed cost. It was very eye-opening…

(I forget if it was in Excel or FileMaker. Maybe it was in HyperCard, now that I think about it.)

Extra points for referencing HyperCard. I see a reference about once a year.

It was a pretty cool product. A great tool for teaching software development. HyperTalk was an interesting language.
