I have noticed that Macs that I get from Apple have their times set
to my local time zone. I suppose that they were set they way prior to
shipping. I order MacPros on a regular basis for the hospital.

Can I ask, how come my friend's macbook had the time correct straight
away once he's typed in his city, which is Birmingham, in his case,
without him being connected to the internet? Thanks.

Richard, If you set the time to Automatic on your network server near
your community, you won't have to do anything. tiger will change
time
settings from Daylight Savings Time to Standard, and back again. If
you use Automatic Network Settings, your time zone will be set
according to the nearest Internet provider in your area. For
example,
when I set it to Automatically Set by Network, I will tab to City and
State. (I'm not quoting voiceOver verbadum), but you'll get the
picture. In that Edit field, I type in the name of my city, which is
Anchorage, and the state, Alaska. Tiger will search until it
finds the
network in Anchorage on which I'm connected, and it will set the time
accordingly. Right now, as of this writing, it's 10:10 PM Alaska
Standard Time. HTH. Richie gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.
