Before you go to bed on Saturday, March 10th
set your clocks ahead one hour.

As the saying goes “Spring forward, Fall back”!!!

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME AND COMPUTER GLITCHES…

Some people may forget to change their clocks for daylight saving time. But computers and other gadgets are usually programmed to change automatically.

But this year, you could run into some hiccups. Why? Daylight Saving Time starts three weeks earlier and ends a week later. Programs that adjust automatically for daylight saving time may need patches.

So start planning, especially if you own a business. Vista won’t require a patch, although XP will. Microsoft plans to make the patch available in early March. For other programs and gadgets, including Blackberry devices, check the manufacturer’s sites.
