Do you think the change is a good idea? I have relatives in Ohio and the
kids are going to have to use a flashlight to find the bus stop.
I loved it when I went to Cleveland and it was daylight at 9 30pm.

Microsoft didn't release an upgrade patch fixing the time settings for
Windows 2000. I had to manually reset the PC clock (and discard the
automatic DST setting) - which will require me to set it back once the old
date for DST arrives in a couple of weeks. So, no. I don't think it was a
good idea. I also saw a segment on the Newshour the other day where one of
the guests claimed that there is no evidence that DST has ever led to energy
savings. It has, however, led to gains by supermarkets, department stores,
etc - since the extra hour of daylight is one extra hour that people are
thought more likely to shop.


Their XP patch didn't work for me, either, but that's what I expect from Microsoft. Personally, the daylight at night means more to me than the morning, since its usually dark when I go to work anyway, but I'm not sure it accomplishes what people say it does.
