Damn, being from Indiana we never had to worry bout DST til last fall. New govenor brought Indiana into the 21st century since the vast majority of the other states changed their clocks.
Well, at least my smoke alarms now have new batteries after 30 years...

I`m still on Win2K and I thought since I was current on my "critical updates" that it would automatically take care of this. Downloading the patch, and having to manually change settings (what is that about?) I think took longer than just manually changing the clock for the rest of the time I will have this `puter. I notice the forum clock is now an hour slow...is that from me or did the server not update?

Yeah, I`m thinking I`ll be changing the clocks again when the "automatic" time change kicks in on the computer/vcr/etc. later on. :sosad:

We got burned by Verizon on the time change. We always use out cell phones as our alarm clocks. Last night right before I went to bed I checked the Verizon webite to confirm they had a handle on the earlier switch to DST. No problem it claimed, so we set the alarm and went to sleep. It goes off this morning at 5:30, I confirm the time on the phone when I turn it off, then 15 minutes later my wife got a call from the hospital telling her she`s late to work. By the time I got her to the hospital the phone was reading the correct time, so sometime between 5:30 and 6:00 it figured out how to fix itself, just a little too late for us.
