Agreed. Now, it is a simple matter of drilling a hole in the cover.
The bad new is that in order to twiddle the trimmer cap, it is
necessary to remove the A501 from the A500. The other alternative
is to remove the top case, and about once a week, twiddle the
clock (first moving the keyboard out of the way). When the clock 
is back to specs, put the top case back on. This would kill the
warranty for both the A500 and the A501 :-(.
