Daylight Savings Time
How long does it usually take your body to adjust to the time when it changes? Do you like it or feel it is necessary?  |

Usually, everyone likes this particular change (putting the clock back) because they can sleep in an extra hour.

Isn't it still up in the air whether or not we'll actually fall back this month?

On another note, I wonder how Windows, Macintosh, Unix, etc., will deal with the time changes. Every computer that I know of relies on a clock so it'll be interesting to see what happens.

I know it does it automatically, but it's likely based on some sort of script. Since time changes have been the same for years now it hasn't been an issue but I wonder what will happen if some places actually change as usual with others waiting another month.
How much do you want to bet that if the time change is infrequent from place to place that Windows and all the other OS's will have to come up with an automatic update to compensate for it?
