1.5 (now 2.0)

Thanks for the suggestion, Ken.

I buy it if you change "rectangle" to "circle": perhaps I didn't make 
it clear that this is an analog (ie: round) clock.

And there is one further complication I'm now evaluating:  Since I'm 
changing the clock face from a pale yellow for daytime to navy blue 
for nighttime, I may not get satisfactory visual results using the 
same color for the clock hands over both faces.

So I may still end up with 314 instead of 157 images, and I'm looking 
among the tools on my Mac to see if I have anything that creates 
animated gifs.
