I certainly hope they don't follow Microsoft's lead where all Win95 & NT4
clocks on the Australian East Coast were taken off daylight savings time
last Sunday despite the fact we don't actually change until the *last*
Sunday this month.  Seems once Microsoft set the plan, they didn't see fit
to update their timebase, even though they made the same mistake one year ago!

Oh well, I guess you get what you paid for: a $140 operating system
controlling a $5,000 computer and probably $10,000 worth of application
software!
