Everybody who got up in the dark saved no energy. (I haven't seen the sun when I arrive at work all winter). Studies show that this was a cost with no benefit. Computer people pay the costs and politicians get to say that they "did something". Many people turn on their heaters in the morning *because* the clock change meant they got up before their house warmed up naturally. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
