Yes please!   Some way of assigning time based on workstation/job/user/etc. so
that users across the country are all presented with their local time.

But, and it's a big but :) , I would not want an westcoast user updating a 
record
"10:00am" that was initially  written to the file at 12:24pm by an east coast
user.   Some how there must be a way to tell the difference between "System" 
time
and "User" time.
I would envision system time (GMT?) as being for logging and system wide 
updates,
and User time being primarily for local workstaion/report display.
