Time zones existed 18 years ago! :)
What I'm saying is that as you attempt to fix this issue, don't try to
be clever and come up with some whiz-bang converter routine that will adjust
timezones inside your code - every time I've seen someone attempt this, they've
failed miserably. Just make sure that all initial times are created in UTC, and
handled as such everywhere except when displaying.
