news Q: When does the time change back in October 2009?

A: November 1st 2009.

Confuse me once.

Since about 2-3 years ago, it is now the first Sunday in November rather
than the last Sunday in October previously since DST was introduced by
the Nixon administration.

The Spring forward date is also changed as of a few years ago to several
weeks earlier in March rather than first Sunday in April.

One effect is the kiddies now have to wait another hour to start their
candy assault on Halloween, as it still stays light until 7:00 PM. In
the old convention with end of DST in October, kiddies could start their
assault at 6:00 PM.

I have a Daylight Savings Time patch for Windows 2000 that
I use on all Win 2K installs. It's bad when the computer
has no idea what time it is.

Actually, that became a huge issue during Y2K remediation, especially for
large companies with hundreds of PCs.

The year 2038 problem has the potential to be far worse than Y2K ever
was.
