Sigh...
Here we go again....

"What ever happened to personal responsibility?" stated dhays.

"Whatever happened to literacy?" stated yyuko to dhays.

DHays, it's kinda late in the game now to be feigning ignorance like that. This has little to do with changing the clock and more to do with interpreting the time as seen by various applications. Even if you change the clock on a local machine manually, you still have to worry about the many Java components that reside on a machine (especially Windows) and calendaring clients such as Outlook that have their own unique TZ code info. And those need to be properly updated in order to understand the data being received from other computers such as your friends and family and business etc etc.

Read before you make such narrow-minded statements when there's volumes of articles posted in just the last two weeks explaining all this in detail.
