Starting spring, 2007, the start and end dates for
daylight-saving time will change in the United States.
This change is part of the United States Energy
Policy Act of 2005.
Note: DST is NOT observed in Hawaii, American
Samoa,
Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Arizona.
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME AND COMPUTER GLITCHES
Some people may forget to change their clocks for
daylight saving time. But computers and other
gadgets are usually programmed to change
automatically.But this year, you could run into some
hiccups. Why? Daylight saving time starts three
weeks earlier and ends a week later. Programs that
adjust automatically for daylight saving time may
need patches.
So start planning, especially if you own a business.
Vista won't require a patch, although XP will.
Microsoft plans to make the patch available in early
March. For other programs and gadgets,
check the manufacturers' sites.
