No, what I want to get is only displaying what current UTC Time to be PST instead of also UTC. BTW my server is already UTC and I *don't* want to change its setting to be PST. Just imagine this scenario, one day a customer will say: "We need it to be based by Europe Paris instead of PST" [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~]# date Thu Mar 27 11:43:32 UTC 2008 I need to display something like if I say: Time.now.to_pst , will show PST, not UTC. I've read jamisbuck's post about tzinfo about deprecated and obsolete, and also rick's posts of Time.zone.now but I have no idea how to *get* Pacific Time (US & Canada) Time, I only know how to _set_ it. I even read one of jamisbuck blog comments saying that time and date implementation in Ruby should be changed # Nope, I'm not saying current implementation is good nor bad, I'm just frustrated I guess :(( My heads are still bleeding.
