skymama 35 #1 April 1, 2007 I woke up this morning, looked at the clock and it said 8:00. I thought that was strange because I never sleep that late and it looked pretty dark outside still. I turned on my Blackberry and that also said 8:00. Then, I wandered out into the kitchen and the microwave and cable box said 7:00! I rubbed my eyes again, thinking I must still be half-asleep, but it still said 7:00! Not knowing which device to trust, I had the great idea of looking at my watch, deciding the good ol' non-electronic thing would tell me the truth. It said 1:30! Then, I rubbed my eyes again and realized I had it upside down. It said 7:00. I'm figuring this was the day we were supposed to have daylight savings before Congress changed it and my clock and Blackberry were preset when I bought them. Anyone else have that kind of weird moment this morning?She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, my co-workers were all anticipating their computers failing to change time at the correct (new) interval this year. I waited for mine to follow suit, but it changed time exactly when it should have and keeps on ticking just right today. No problem.

It wasn't corrected for the change in daylight savings time, but I was able to fix it by setting it to central time instead of pacific time. There isn't a way to set it manually. I got home around midnight last night and noticed that my alarm clock was off an hour compared to my auto set atomic clock that works on long range radio sent out from Colorado or something like that. I set it back to pacific time and now everything is back to normal. The two clocks do differ by about 5 minutes though. I was pissed that my VCR was off by an hour and didn't record the shows I had it programmed for a few weeks ago. That is supposed to auto set, but I don't think it works with the digital cable box I have.
