Time change
Would someone please explain why everyone is so upset about a simple clock change. Maybe I am naive, but it seems to me that any software involving time should be using the system clock, period. If the operating system doesn't change the clock, do it yourself.

Or have we become so dependent on computers that people are too dumb to know how to do that? If I read correctly, one of the issues had to do with Outlook changing the times of appointments when the time change occurs. Why would Outlook change an appointment I set in the future for 6:00 PM to a different time? 6:00 PM is 6:00 PM no matter how I look at it.

I just don't get the whole thing.
