Apologies for my exceedingly poor maths. Of course, the duration will  
be marginally greater 3600 secs, rather than less, so this presumably  
is the duration in seconds, please disregard the first half of my  
question.

However, I'd still be very curious to know if this can be casted as  
some sort of class that represents a duration, rather than simply as  
an integer. Any ideas?
