Adding Unicode support is tenfold more important to me.

I guess my thought was that in order for there to be a clock, the processor would have to stay on continuously. I have to admit I don't know if they could "shut down" everything execpt the "clock circuit". After thinking about it, if there could be a clock without keeping the whole thing on, I'm all for it. Hours and minutes only, NO seconds
