Last week end DD and I were talking about the "new" time change dates and what we will have to do to our PC's!!!! Manually change the time, and then do it again when we "used" to change times and then again in the fall...so that will be FOUR manual time changes a year ....UNLESS Bill Gates and crew come up with a patch that we can install that will help this situation out. Has anyone heard of any sort of 'fix' for this on our PC's??

Not to make this a mac vs. pc thing, but on my mac I can set my computer's time to a network time clock (somehwere in CA?). I'm guessing you can do the same thing on your pc. Perhaps in date and time preferences?

Just another reason why I love having moved to AZ.....no DST! We follow the sun, its natural rhythms, and boy oh boy, our energy bills are so much lower than when we lived in NY....go figure.

It sounds like you have found your vortex!

I like when it stays light longer......Lawren, why don't you like daylight savings time?

Because it is just starting to be light out when we all get up and now it will be dark again.

I am a morning person and it takes me a while to get used to the time change, particularly the spring one. I normally don't even wear a watch but can tell time acurately by the light and shadows. Now I'll be more screwed up than usual.

ETA That I believe Microsoft did come out with a patch for this.

And since we come home that day it will be one more hour we get to spend there.

Actually, you'll be spending one less hour there since the time will "spring" forward or go from 03:00 to 04:00 early Sunday morning (Sat. night/Sunday morning). Be careful to make sure you get to the airport on time if you're leaving that day. It's be a bad thing if you showed up an hour late for your flight.

Lawren....I understand. I'm just so accustomed to getting up in the dark, that it's doesn't bother me, too much. I do like having the extra sunlight in the day, tho. I hate when it gets dark so early.
