This Sunday march 11 2007 will start the newest daylight savings change over (which was changed in an energy saving bill back in 2005 by congress) This only effects us because of the fact that some PC's and computer networks may not recognize the change. This is especially high in Personal PC's, cell phones, cameras and camcorders, automatic clocks, ETC....

So just a quick heads up make sure your systems are up to date this sunday

IF you dont know how to change the time on your PC just double click on the clock in the try (try to click a number or the AM/PM) then change it. Also as a side note if you click the "Internet Time" tab at the top of that window, you can update it with a time server (i use time-b.nist.gov)

Thanks, hc2995. I didn't think of that.

I wonder if MS is offering an update patch???

If you update your clock from a time server, you don't even need this update.
