Re: US DST Changes - 2007

["Tom Jedrzejewicz" <tomjedrz@xxxxxxxxx>]

I hate the time changes.  I hated them before this craziness, and I hate
them even more now.  Government nonsense ...

My understanding ...
1. We should download and apply this PTF anytime convenient

2. After , and change our time zone to the appropriate "2" time zone (with
the new DST definitions) after the first Monday this November and 1-March
next year.

Do you guys agree?
