So...Daylight Savings was moved to an earlier date, right?  We all heard how computers would have problems, phones would have problems...etc etc....

no one mentioned that VCR's would have problems!!!  I have a TV & VCR in my room, and I use the clock on the VCR as the clock in my room...I have an alarm set on my palm pilot (Which also had problems with the early Daylight savings)...

I never heard my alarm this morning, and I looked at the clock, and it said 8:30...which was a half hour past what I planned to do.  So, I got up, showered...etc etc...

Went into the kitchen and the clock said 8:30.  AHHHHHHHH!!!!  I lost a whole hour of sleep!!  GRRRR

I'm so tired...stupid VCR's.

My laptop saved my bacone with that... I noticed that it was an hour later on my laptop than on the rest of my clocks... Good thing, otherwise I would've been hour too late for work the next day...

Anything with a clock in it will have a problem. 'dumb' electronics like VCR's are the worst because there's no way to update them on the new time zone rules. So if they do DST changes, you'll have to change them 4 tiems a year now, on the old and new dst dates. It's really irritating.
