This is just the tip of the iceberg come March 11. VCRs and any other
devices that can automatically adjust to daylight saving time won't set
properly unless you disable the automatic DST feature, or move to
Arizona or Hawaii.


You should also adjust your computer with tzedit.exe (time zone edit),
before that date, to insert the proper days for starting and ending
DST. If you don't already have the program, you can find it on the
web and dl it. Congress changed the dates since your OS was written,
unless you got it in the past year, and maybe not even then.
