Great timer for the computer

While we use the countdown timer on my cell phone for our SG workouts, there are other workouts where other timers are handy. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned here before, but a while back I came across the single best timer I've used yet. It is a configurable web page timer that you can download and use without even being online. It has ridiculously big numbers, and is extremely configurable.
While you can use it for SG (and I have not yet used it for that) it can be used for so much more. I used it today to do Tabata Intervals on my stationary bike (20-second hard ride, 10-second rest, repeat) and it comes complete with real bells and whistles (WAV files). It has a few kinds of workouts pre-set, and you can create and save your own. It was designed for speed bag workouts, so it is geared around 3-minute rounds, but you can make it do anything you want.
