Re: [H] DST Patch?
Yes, much of the patch might do time zones overseas, but it also provides the new pointers (math values) for our USA systems that do live in DST areas to re-compute when DST starts and stops. I suppose since many things in computer-land depend on the correct time at each PC, getting DST switched over properly is important still. Yes, I do agree, this DST sillyness should maybe go away. I went to school and came home in the dark. I guess we need to convince our local Board of Ed that DST is really lame. Then, it is tough to have HS Football practice after school in the dark! LOL!

Re: [H] DST Patch?
This whole thing is a crock... (It has its uses though...) Daylight is a finite resource... Changing the clock doesn't "save" anything, it just moves it... I guess calling it "Daylight MOVING Time" has no sex appeal... ;-) Rick Glazier From: "DHSinclair" Yes, much of the patch might do time zones overseas, but it also provides the new pointers (math values) for our USA systems that do live in DST areas to re-compute when DST starts and stops.
Re: [H] DST Patch?
Rick, I completely agree with you. Actually, if it were called "Daylight Moving/Shifting Time" I might not feel so bad about it. I just find it to be a giant PITA. It is interesting to note that DST seems to be more important, and ingrained, in those highly populated areas at higher latitudes. Hmm. Then, I have to laugh here with many of the dairy farmers in my area that think DST is bunk because, as they say, "Ain't seen no cow that reads a clock yet!" I am certain that my grass does not care what "time" it is either! LOL! Best, Duncan At 08:58 03/06/2007 -0500, you wrote: This whole thing is a crock... (It has its uses though...)

Never really noticed this b4 but if I have Eudora open IE and FF both are dog slow. Only bugs me if I link out from Eudora. I'm not sure if this is new bug, Eudora's bug or IE/FF bug fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- There is absolutely no right way to do a wrong thing.
