Daylight Savings Time & Your Computer

If your computer's time zone and daylight savings time were setup correctly then you should be seeing the correct time on your computers this morning.  However if you're in the wrong time zone or daylight savings is not enabled then you may be running an hour ahead this morning.  For general non-computer related info on DST check out this LINK

Here are some tips and info on how to change or check your settings:
