I know you can print text on forms...I know you can print text on PictureBoxes...but...

I want to print text on the desktop and update it dynamically (Windows uptime, to be specific), just in a corner of the screen. Is it possible to do this, or do I have to fall back on "other" methods? My other idea is creating a tray icon and dynamically updating the tool-tip with the uptime, so mousing over the systray icon would show the uptime. Still, it'd be nice to just glance at the desktop and see it.

Real reason: My computer's been locking up...and I think it has something to do with uptime, so I'd like to see what it is when she dies
