Early DST--no problems here
Just checked both computers to make sure they didn't spontaneously combust when Daylight Saving(s) Time came 3 weeks early this year.
They had been hyping it up on the news (even Jon Stewart did a parody of it on his show) the past week saying how some older computers, especially if they were over 3 years old, might have problems adjusting. Of course, I thought, well that's easy, you just adjust the clock as if you were adjusting the time. But then I spend a lot of time working/playing on computers. My laptop, which is 4 years old, showed the correct time on startup, and the family desktop (which I've been using lately) changed right over automatically without needing to reboot. So all's good on this end! Just wanted to let you all know! Now I'm gonna go to bed!

Windows 2000 servers, even though they were patched, are having issues (at least where I work).
Thanks, MS!

All of my PCs are patched. I manually set my Palm to the correct DST settings, a few weeks back. No problems.

I might have to stop by the office today and check the Server. I am using MS Server 2003 if I remember correctly.
My PC at home adjusted itself.

My computers seem okay. We've been losing electrical power at our place intermittantly for the last two days, but I think that's probably unrelated.

Man, I hope California adopts that policy some day. I can't stand it in the dead of winter when it gets dark at 5 PM. Depressing.

Mine didn't flip, so I right clicked the clock and changed it.
It was scary for a stretch there

Imagine that .... the early DST change scare didn't quite play out. The list of these bungled scares is getting really long:
Y2K - 1999 Overpopulation/famine - 1960s China Syndrome/Nuclear Power - 1970s Freon & the Ozone Hole - 1980s Communist Invasion - 1950s Global Cooling / Ice Age - 1980s DDT - 1970s HIV/AIDs - 2000 Next thing we'll hear is manmade Global Warming is a hoax too ..... nah, couldn't be!
