there’s a twice a year ritual called changing the clocks to either prepare for the return of standard time or anticipating daylight saving time. sometime in 2007 all these rules will alternate again, and the long established time calendar changes.
i find it impressive on how many clocks require adjustment. fortunately, desktop and notebook machine usually have a network time server to work, so their clocks are updated automatically. it’s the DV camcorders, televisions, digital photo cameras, automobile clocks, watches, phones, thermostats, microwaves, wall clocks, cuckoo clocks, and other time pieces requiring modification. every year, another device comes on the marketplace, like an ipod or portable DVD player that also needs adjustment. good luck finding all those devices before 2 AM sunday morning.
