Yes -- *wherever you happen to be*. Not in some other time zone. > > There is utterly no "time zone" component to the concept (and use > case) I'm talking about. There absolutely is a time zone component -- namely, the local time zone. This would be like saying (in Rubyish pseudocode: @hassan.set_alarm(Time.new(:hour => 7, :minute => 0, :zone => DEFAULT_TIME_ZONE)) # I know Time.new's syntax is not like this -- just trying for clarity. A clock time cannot be a useful without a time zone -- even if that time zone is set to a sensible default, it's still *there*.
