    The time on the message boards is an hour ahead for me. At the posting of this message the time will be exactly 11:17:26 Central Standard Time (GMT -6hrs). Does CP not take into account daylight savings? :confused: -Mark

      I thought DST kicks in on the last Sunday in October, and the first Sunday in April (and Europe has a slightly different system to that). :confused: The kindest thing you can do for a stupid person, and for the gene pool, is to let him expire of his own dumb choices.

        The changeover to/from DST varies from country to country. Even from year to year, and political party. I used to have a link to a website that showed just what a mess it is, but I can't find it anymore. :( Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing

                Want to save energy? Turn off the TV! Mwahaha! I agree, except during post-season baseball. :-D An expert is somebody who learns more and more about less and less, until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.
