Daylight Savings Time

I could give you plenty of reason against it and already mentioned one very
important one, but why is my different view not tolerated by you???
Doesn't sound very democratic, does it? H.

No, I don't think so, I think they should keep it as it is now. What
does it bother you that DST exists or is in use where you live? What is
it that is so bad about it? Do you get up at 4:00 AM and go to bed at
6:00 PM? I like longer daylight hours after work or after supper, it
brings people out and it's fun!

I don't play golf, but what's wrong with that? I like DST, I like the
longer daylight hours during the summer time. I like having extra time
to do yard work or ride my bike or just have a cold drink and loaf
around. I enjoy that extra hour of daylight after work hours.

It's sole purpose is to allow the golfers an extra hour of play in the
summer time, that's all, other reasons for it are plain fiction

(hogwash).

How about it?

I had completely forgot about DST when I reinstalled Windows ME a few

months


back. Today I downloaded a copy of TZEDIT and went through the
procedure

of


resetting DST, including the last 2 instructions of selecting a

different

time zone in DATE/TIME (Control Panel) and then reselecting the proper

time


zone. For some reason, it's not catching.

Any ideas?

What do you mean "not tolerated by me"?? I don't give a hoot what you
think or what your views are on DST! It doesn't bother me one bit,
think as you please, I don't care! If you want an election over it then
go bug your elected officials and ask them to change it or pass a vote
on it. And as for your "very important" reasons why we should not use
DST I haven't seen any of them posted here.

If I had a choice it would be the same as yours, JohnJohn. Leave the longer
evenings alone!

If you are trying to confirm proper operation, set the date to March 9, 2008
and the time to 1:59 AM, wait until the clock reads "2:00 AM" and see if
Windows resets the time to 3:00 AM.

Hello:

I seem to recall reading about what Ben is saying. Even after the changes
are made to the registry time zone entries, the changes only "catch" when
the date and time crosses either the spring or fall DST boundaries. So you
need to follow the procedure as outlined by Ben to test proper operation of
your time zone registry entries.

I see nothing that you posted as "very important" reasons not to use
DST, all I see is bitching that you don't want or don't like having
people engaging in an extra hour of sporting activities or enjoying
other pleasant pursuits during that extra hour of daylight after a long
day at work!

John

This may be a perfect example of a hijacked thread!!!

The problem is that the time wouldn't change; it appeared to be still
operating under Eastern Standard Time, instead of Eastern Daylight Savings
Time. However, I just tried your suggestion and indeed the change does take
effect as scheduled.

It's obvious I have a problem with the date/time program. If I go and change
the time zone from Eastern to Pacific, the time doesn't change. I don't
think it's a big issue because there should be no reason to change times
except for DST.

Thanks for the feedback Ben. At least it confirmed that TXedit was not the
issue.

Hi John.....ignore him. He lives in a *parallel universe* and most of
the time makes absolutely no sense at all. I often wonder how he made
it to the age he claims to be......drifting aimlessly and totally
unaware of real life problems or joys.
