I don't know why you see the time stamps the way you do, but mine always shows good. Rick, I don't think your system is on daylight savings time? EST should be GMT-400 during DST, and -500 when not. You see it correctly because you're posting at -500 and downloading at -500, while PCR and I are downloading your posts at -400. |

If you "spring" forward an hour it's necessary to | "adjust" to | | reflect the new relationship to the constant. It's important that | networked | | systems to use the same time constant. The "time of day" is only for human | | consumption ;-) | | And that constant is/was GMT. However, GMT also provides area location | {longitude}, adjusting zone rather than clock is not exactly accurate. | Example - if I adjust where I'm sitting to -0400 longitude[timezonewise], | I'm sitting at the bottom of the ocean latitude-wise [somewhere off the | shore - adjusting my physical location, latitude and longitude, virtually]. | Granted: *time zones* are not the same as longitude lines, having been set | by legislative activities, however, the absolute of GMT [Greenwich Mean | Time] and its relationship to the world then becomes just another | manipulative exponent, hardly what can be considered as constant if its | relationship is and can be varied *virtually*, I think a navigator using a | sextant might agree.. | | | GMT/UTC is still a constant. The time at longitude 0. | The (manipulative) variable is the "time zone" factor of the equation. | | If you are calculating your geographic location, you need to adjust | accordingly. Then what you suggest is that mariners and aviators adjust their chronometer to DST [should that be required] adding that calculation to the equation to determine position? -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org a Peoples' counsel _ _ ~~ |

I am in EST but as you said my computer is set GMT-0500 and yes I do have Auto Adjust turned off and always have set it manually the first of the year. I've done that since Win9x because back then it drove me crazy when auto adjust was on it would scramble my Desktop icons when it auto adjusted, and so out of habit right along had set my W2K/WXP that way too, and have been staying booted and posting with XP this year anyway. I assume XP/2K never scrambles desktop icons after an time auto adjust? I haven't applied any updates since SP3 on this WXPro, and so am a few months behind with that, and of course have that auto update off too. I apologize to you three for not responding to these post earlier but I've been swamped at work and home and have barley had time to sleep even. Thanks for the replies PCR & MEB. Bill, you're on XP too, so how should I set it so that my offset gets shown correctly on all counts, not just these newsgroups. My sister in Florida told me last week that my email timestamp was an hour off as well too even though I see it as normal, and so I need to conform to make things show right then. I just now check marked the box to Auto Adjust, and my time jumped ahead an hour which is incorrect, so I manually adjusted the clock back an hour but leaving the box checkmarked; I hope this solves the problem. Thanks, Rick |

That is as it should be, because we are in the same time zone. It didn't occur to me you had the auto time adjustment turned off & did it manually. Good thinking on Blanton's part as usual. OK, I'm taking you off my naughty list, Chauvin-- for posting responses before the OP has posted as you did in an earlier thread! I've never noticed my own Desktop got mussed over that the auto date change. Next time I'll have to go look!
