And pebble, thanks for the great info!!!!

Well, I'm not sure, but I think I know a thing or two about heating bills, and having it get dark at 5:30, BTW the sun went down at 5:59 here tonight. I barely had time to finish nine holes!
You see, I spent my first eighteen years in Wisconsin. And I’ll admit my age by saying that I remember when President Eisenhower first instituted daylight savings time. I didn’t like it then, and I don’t like it now. And if I never see snow again it’ll be too soon. And THAT, my friend is why I live in Hawaii.
My point , however,was that the beloved beastie went ahead and assumed I wanted to set it's clock back ... when in fact I had no desire nor need to do that. It is even smart enough to know better, but doesn't seem to. It looks like someone at Micro$oft went ahead and decided how I should compute ... AGAIN!
OK Rant over, I feel better now.  __________________
