Might wanna change your title to "Heads up for computer users" or something similar to alert folks as to what this thread is about.

So that's what all those auto-updates were for yesterday? I wondered, but forgot to check 'em out. Thanks, Stormy.

I don't know why, if they were going to screw with it, they didn't just abolish it. I thought the argument behind not abolishing it was that our toaster ovens were going to rise up and kill us all in our sleep.

But maybe this is a dry run. Resist or the bastards will be having ye on the metric system, where we won't recognize the sign of the beast!

I guess I am related to Survivor if you hit me on the wrong topic.

This is coming from a company that, up until XP, had the "perpetual daylight savings" bug: if you're using the computer when it's time to roll back one hour, do so and continue to use it (without rebooting or manually setting the time), it will remind you *again* in an hour. And again... and again... and again...
