Cheers, Don ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kalnel Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2007 11:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [GTD] Daylight savings change in U.S. and Canada software updates Just a heads-up to everyone in the U.S. and Canada, especially those who use date-dependent software or handhelds (such as Outlook) and/or smartphones, Palms, Pocket PCs, and Blackberries. They've changed the schedule for daylight savings so that we "spring forward" on March 11 (rather than in April) and "fall back" on November 4 (rather than in October). You'll need to update your software and devices to reflect this change, or your may screw up appointment times between the new time-change dates and the old time-change dates for this year and in the future. You can find the Microsoft patch for handhelds and smartphones here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx <http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx> . You can find the Palm patch here: http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/dst.html <http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/dst.html> You can find the Blackberry patch here: http://www.blackberry.com/DST2007/patch/index2.shtml <http://www.blackberry.com/DST2007/patch/index2.shtml> Also, Microsoft has a page about updating other desktop and programs to reflect the new times, too. You can find it here: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/dst_topissues <http://support.microsoft.com/gp/dst_topissues> On other date-dependent gadgets -- including many cars -- you would be wise to check with individual manufacturers. I know that Tivo will be providing automatic software updates as part of its regular updating cycle, but I'm not sure about other products. kal [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
