Still, not a serious bug.  Television guides often list hours up to 4:30
am as the previous day.

The correct way to represent midnight on a 24-hour-format clock is
00:00 (disregarding seconds).  12:00 is noon.

Now that is a good idea.  However, you'll need extra space for your am/pm
indicator.

Not all clocks provide seconds, so'll they would have to configure for
different clock abilities as well.

Good ideas though.  Perhaps you should send them in to InSync and see if
they are willing to put them into 3.0.
