Simple way to do it: make sure the hotfix for time is applied. Reboot and
either use the BIOS to set the date to BEFORE the time change. Boot. If
you have the network time sync running, it will fix the date and time
catching the DST crap up as it does. If you don't use the network time
sync, just change the date to the current date and it should make the time
change for you and get you in sync. That's what it should do. What MS
thinks it should do is an open question I just noted that the wife's
laptop is all messed up and it was running with the fixes! XP Media Ed.
Let us know how you make out - I may need some MS advice since I almost
never run it.

Hi Earle,
True, it'll pop the diode from any car with an alternator. And fifties
was the last of the rear pump automatic, so they're added to the list.

Uh huh. Reading the full headers, my post comes back here with:
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 23:13:10 -0600

Yours omes in as:
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 23:28:07 -0700

The -0600 is the UTC offset my computer attaches, the -0700 is attached by
yours uses for your offset. Now, I know Sliverton is in a world of it's
own but we should at least be in the same time zone! Or has one of us been
listening to Coast-to-Coast radio too long? (Dang, I miss Art Bell on these
late nights!)
