Thanks!
Daylight Savings is usually handled by the operating system (eg
Windows).
so it will happen some months later this year, unless you pay
for the Beta? ;-)
Mandriva Linux and possibly other Linux distributions have a
small program that will keep the computer clock in sync with the
atomic clocks on the web. Does Windows have a similar program? I
would think so. For those in the USA using Windows, it should
just be a matter of installing and then running the program while
connected to the internet. At least this would be a good starting
point.

Windows does it by default, it has never been a problem, for me at
any rate.

It does what by default: reset to Daylight Savings Time (DST) or
sync the computer clock with the atomic clocks on the web? Even my
Win 98SE resets to DST, but it will only do that on the first Sunday
of April, and on the last Sunday of October reset the clock to
Standard Time. It will not handle changing this at any other time of
the year. If the computer clock is in sync with the web clocks, then
the change will be made automatically regardless of when the change
occurs.
I just did a Google search and found a number of free programs
which will sync the computer clock to any chosen NTP time server on
the web.

Good Question :) So I checked.
It looks as though I set it to internet time ages ago and then forgot all
about it, but I cannot be sure. It's very easy, anyhow. One simply double
clicks the clock on the task bar then go to Internet time and set it.
Obviously it only works when connected and can be set to automatic.
