I did find a small bug in the program - but it turns out to only be
a cosmetic isssue.

When printing the ON TIME for the last operating period - the time 
shown should one more than it is shown.  However, note that the 
total number of minutes is actually correct (being one more than
the total of the operating periods shown).  

So - the total 1443 is indeed correct and the right number of 
minutes is taken off at the end.

This is fixed for next year.
