I agree with the basic point that time formats aren't real easy to use for  
many applications of it. But I have to say I had very similar frustrations with 
 Excel.
 
I often deal with timed results of sporting events where the times range  
from around 20 minutes (with seconds) to 140 minutes. I'd love to be able to  
just enter times as 35:16 or 76:45 etc., and have them interpreted properly as  
minutes and seconds, but I can't figure out how.

Yes, as  I just replied to Joe, I'm disappointed at this. Why on earth 
would anyone  want a MM:SS format then? Rhetorical question, I suppose. 
Certainly I  think it's a bug (in the help/documentation if nowhere else) 
that the  display format does not match the input format.
