I hate the time changes. I will have to spend much of the day Sunday at work reprogramming timers, HVAC systems, PLC's, copiers, fax machines etc.

Just pick a standard and leave the damn time the same!!

^^ I hate the time changes as well. However, I'm curious to see what happens with two of our clocks that are supposed to just change automatically. Can't wait to see if it happens. Am I supposed to sit up until 2 am to see if they switch?

I already had two clocks change because I bought them before Congress changed the dates. The programming didn't know the dates had changed.

Me too! My Garmin Streetpilot 2720 changed the time on me and so did my Mr. Coffee coffee maker.

Well, you can't ski on rain...but then again you don't have to shovel it either.
