my personal favorite. You could have different images for night and day.
Let's see. 12 images per hour * 24 hours per day = 288 separate
images...lot's of images to keep track of *unless* it's one GIF file.

Some points to note:

1) don't forget to
set the repeatcount of img "myClock" to 0

2) You don't what to use frame differencing or bounding box removal settings
for the GIF. Each frame should be a complete picture in itself.
