In grad school one of my housemates was a Swedish postdoc with an  
inordinate fondness for Jack Lord and Hawaii Five-O (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNk_wlqFG5o 
)

Per had an entertaining description of the flagday when Sweden  
switched to right-side driving in 1967.  Don't sell the entertainment  
value short as a way to bring timekeeping to the attention of a vast  
new public.

If it's peanuts to you, perhaps you'll help with our funding for this  
"upgrade"?  What new features should we expect in this release?  :-)
