And then, I did a soft reset. All is as it should have been WITHOUT a soft reset.
Does the book say I have to do a soft reset? I'll have to read the book and see.... Well, it's still the present, and perhaps only in the future will all electronic devices carrying a clock and always connected to a network actually set their clocks correctly. Anyway, I can now go back to letting the Centro set date/time/zone, as before. Who knew?

This morning when I awoke, my Centro thought it was the correct time, but also though it was in Los Angeles. I looked outside my window and it still looked like Colorado, so no tornadoes or other natural phenomena had taken me west. N.B.: I said that it thought it was the correct time - FOR COLORADO! Many (not all) things appeared in their "proper" Pacific Time slots, with the now-familiar suffix telling me what they WOULD have been in Mountain Time. Notice also that this is NOT OK. I changed the setting to retrieve just the date/time and not the time zone from Sprint. The time remained correct, I updated the time zone from Los Angeles to Denver, and all is well. Well, all is NOT well, and really, is this a Sprint problem (good luck getting THAT resolved!) or a Palm problem (likewise). DON'T THEY TEST THESE THINGS?????? It's really a good thing that Centro/Sprint works so well, and that the network coverage everywhere I go is so good. If it weren't, I'd be at the mercy of the support organizations of Palm and Sprint. I know both organizations have excellent people working there, it's just that THOSE people are kept well hidden from the public! I might call them just for comedy relief, but I have 0% expectation that they will a) understand the problem, b) care about the problem or c) do anything about the problem. This from years of experience with Palm and months with Sprint, wherein very few problems have fallen outside the scope of a), b) and c), above. Note: the Centro and the Sprint network, here, work exceptionally well; better than any Palm device or carrier available as an alternative. However, much like 1&1 Internet's hosted Exchange, I feel like I'm somewhat exposed since the three support organizations I have now mentioned are quite inept when it comes to, well, support!! It's always a battle to get to a), it's nearly always that I feel I'm given lip service to b) and a rare surprise when we accomplish c). Cynical, me?? Nah. Notice, though, that this is NOT like the spring. We "should" already be on standard time now. This problem manifests when under all circumstances we should/would be on standard time at this point in the year. I'm SO glad congress decided to give us an extra month of late sunny days...
