IMO daylight saving time is the most idiotic moronic senseless idea known to mankind; I'm glad we don't participate. I wish I could go back in time and smack Benjamin Franklin upside the head.

Either you're using the energy in the evening or you're using it in the morning, so how does it "save" energy?

Quadrille, if you go to sleep at 10:00 pm and wake up at 6:00 am in February, then you go to sleep at 10:00 pm and wake up at 6:00 am in March, where do you get an extra hour of sleep? Are you talking about the one day - do you set an alarm clock and get up at a specific time on Sundays? Then you lose that hour in the spring? And it's not just "a few computer clocks", it's internet and intranet servers, thousands of VCRs, alarm systems, and other time-keeping gadgets. Doom? No. Pain in the petula? Yes. For what? Nothing.

Y2K wasn't doom either, but according to that article its price tag was 21 billion.

BillyS, now you'll get to deal with it four times each year.
