Actually, Eric, that's not quite true if you count the UK in Europa
(I do, since I live in both the UK and France). I am old enough to
remember when the UK and French switch-over dates did not coincide,
so change is not inconceivable, and there is currently a proposal
being at least tentatively discussed in the UK to change the whole
thing permanently. See

FWIW

Hi Ken,
Here in Europa, no change is planned.
And there are states in the USA that never change of hour as Hawaii
(as far as I know :-)

Well, if we didn't have enough issues with dates, here's a new
twist: The
"Energy Policy Act of 2005" was passed through Congress recently
and it is
going to cause Daylight Savings Time to start a month earlier and
end a week
later starting next year (2007).

So since apparently only the US is doing this (am I right about
that?), it
would seem to mean that any code the depends on DST starting the
first
Sunday in April and ending the last Sunday in October will have to
change.
And if the reason PCs and Macs can automatically switch over to
DST is
because of "hard-coded" information on the motherboard, then they
will have
to change too.
Does anybody know what other computing effects this will have?
Also, does
anyone have any info about how Revolution will handle the change?
(Perhaps
this is best asked of RunRev...)
Don't want this to be another "Y2K"...
