I like the above format a lot.  I think this is more intuitive, but to each
his own.

Having the actual date/time of completion is very nice.  I personally think
it is very useful.  Often, I run a batch (script) file with many smaller
runs in it. It is nice to track amount of time actually used, and date they
completed.
