   This is a heads up for anyone who doesn't already know about it.  I'm a
   software developer and I just found out about it today.  I don't know how it
   would impact your PCs if you don't update them but if this prevents one
   person from having one headache. It's worth it.
   Congress( the opposite of progress) has changed the start & end dates of
   Daylight Savings Time beginning in 2007.  It will now begin on the second
   Sunday of March and end the first Sunday of November.  Those of you that use
   a version of Microsoft Windows should go to
   [1]http://www.microsoft.com/windows/timezone/dst2007.[2]mspx to see if you
   are impacted and how to get a fix for it.
   I apologize if it is inappropriate to post this here and if so informed will
   not do so in the future.  I actually can't foresee doing this again.  This
   just strikes me as a rather arcane computer issue that's flying below the
   radar of everyone I've mentioned it to.
