>I seriously hate the AM/PM system; most of the time you need to look for an extra indicator. There are times when it's just dark and we don't exactly know the time of day. When I see 6:15, sometimes it's a problem to know the time of day. Did I just sleep all night and wake up too early, or is it dark already? We're programmers, everybody has had such a deadline driven series of days when you sleep when you must and wake up ASAP and have no clue where you are... and what time of day is it. The clock could help, and should.

I settled for a simpler one, but capable of showing all 24 and even having a thermometer which can show the degrees (*) and the Fahrenheit.
