Re: How did DST go for you.

Evidently the IBMer I was talking to was confused to all creation about 
Eastern Time being only 4 hours different than GMT.  GMT NEVER uses 
daylight Savings time.  I even pointed to the website: 
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/  .  However, he kept referring to 
some other website that said it was 5 zones off.  (I reserve my p!ssing 
contests to a consultant at work.)  I was this close to changing my 
timezone to one of the other EST's. 
Funny thing also, Notice the difference between this screen 
          Time        ------------------Standard Time-
Offset    Zone        Abbr       Full 
-05:00    QN0500EST   EST        Eastern Standard Time
-05:00    QN0500EST2  EST        Eastern Standard Time
-05:00  > QN0500EST3  EST        Eastern Standard Time
and this screen:

  Time zone  . . . . . .   QN0500EST3     Name
 
 
Associated settings: 
  Offset . . . . . :   -04:00 
  Full name  . . . :   Eastern Daylight Time 
  Abbreviated name :   EDT
