Sharon, Well, if you become curious enough you can set the time to 1:58 AM and whatever day you guys are required to change the time to. This is what others on this list did with running a mPower and PK side-by-side to see if the time would change automatically.

So far my MPower hasn't changed it's time so it knows the rules for us but it will be interesting when we do have to change our clocks to see if the MPower does it then. >From Shaz BN QT MPower and (will be at some time) PK user. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: Joseph Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: vicky collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED], [email protected] >Date sent: Tue, 11 Mar 2008 17:55:49 -0700 >Subject: [Braillenote] DST on the BN - few questions and comments foranother study >Hi Vicky and list, >Then it's time for yet another study with the >following questions of my own: >* Does this "automatic change" occur with all >units running 7.5 or is it just mPowers? >* If the change occurs under KeySoft 7.5, >what specific build introduced this algorithm >- was it build 20, 27 or 28 (28 is for >mPowers only)? >* What happens if a user uses prior version >of KeySoft such as 7.2 or 7.0?
