Hello Dean:

I do have a question regarding the time zone setting.  When you choose
daylight savings and of course depending on the time of year realizing the
time difference I thought after daylight saving goes back I noticed you have
to say and then the unit's time would go back or ahead an hour depending but
I'd like to suggest if this could be automated like a PC's clock but maybe
because of windows CE this might not be possible but just a suggestion.
