Forgive me for posting four months after the fact (my apologies if this is frowned upon). I've browsed 68KMLA off and on for a long time, but obviously I didn't see this back in January!

HappyPlusClock inverts the display at 0600 and 1800 every day. These times were chosen so that the display will burn evenly; if the machine is left alone, each pixel should be light and dark for an equal amount of time from midnight to midnight. (Since I get off work at 6pm, the inversion is also a good signal that it's time to go home, but that's neither here nor there. :b&w: )

FWIW, I've run my Plus (F7469U9M0001A) near-continuously (in an air-conditioned environment) for more than six months without any obvious ill effects. I concede y'all are more expert than me -- I'm pretty much just a software dude. Is this going to cause a problem?
