i question like a smelly egg

dous anyone know how to get a news ticker like the one here www.orange.com that has the date only it requires no updating???

Like this?

Day & Date

i couldent see it because i havent downloaded the new version yet i was scared that if i did it would mean i couldent open any old files
is this true??

upgrading to a newer version will still allow you to open your old files.

thanks :)
