<snip>...and appointments scheduled through things such as Outlook may
be off by an hour until things get synchronized again.</snip> 

One thing I found with my PDA (an early version of PocketPC) was that it
didn't get updated when Western Australia decided to trial daylight
saving late last year. 

I kept wondering why I was an hour late to hairdressing appointments
etc., then the receptionist at my dentist said that one of their clients
had a PDA and was also an hour out all the time. Aha! That was it! 

The patch put out by Microsoft fixed the server and the computers, but
not the PocketPC OS. So from then on I called the place the day before
just to make sure I had the time right - or didn't enter the next
appointment in my PDA. I'd get it on an appointment card, enter it into
Outlook on my PC, then let it synch with the PDA - the time would be
right then.

Later PDA OSes may work better, but this is a 'heads up' for those using
earlier ones. If anyone has a solution to this issue, I'd like to hear
it so I can deal with it next year when we start the second year of our
three year daylight savings trial.
