Colin,

With all due respect, this was just another thong that was ripped of by the
Brits from the US. Ben Franklin invented it in 1784, which according to
your link was 123 years after Franklin invented it:-)))))))))

BTW, it not Daylight SavingS Time, it's Daylight Saving Time.

Al,

Beg to differ. Daylight Savings Time is a good old British invention - you

Americans are always trying to claim benefit for everything!

The correct name is "Daylight Saving Time", not "Daylight SavingS Time".
It was invented by Benjamin Franklin as "Daylight Candle Saving Time".

It was not adopted until 1918 to save energy during WW1, the following year
congress repealed it because of rural complaints. (Note that "World War 1"
was referred to as the "World War" in older references/encyclopedias until
WW2!)

It was re-adopted in 1942 s "War Time", although Ohio and Michigan opted
out.

In 1966, congress standardized the system, but Indiana, Arizona and Hawaii
didn't observe it.

In 1974, it was extended by Nixon because of the first Arab Oil embargo.

In 1986, it was extended from six months to seven.

In 2007, it was extended by another month, both to be better balanced on the
calendar and to provide more light on Halloween.

Is there any more trivia you would like?????

Because it practically takes an Act of Congress to IPL our machines outside
of our scheduled downtime. Oh sure, there's a bunch of you out there that
says if you give your users 5 minutes notice then it doesn't count as
unscheduled down time.

RE: Daylight Savings Time

As you all know I keep somewhat current on PTFs. I scanned the PTF

cover >letters for V5R4 for "daylight". Wouldn't you know - there are some
ptf's >that I don't have. Cool part is that some are Delayed ptf's. Yee
Haw!

http://www->912.ibm.com/a_dir/as4ptf.nsf/9939a36675eadb978625710200584c

I'll probably just say the heck with them.

I'm fairly new to the PTF Apply World, why would delayed ptf's be tossed
aside?
