Are You Affected by Daylight Savings Time? Make Sure You Don’t Miss a Deadline

I caught an interesting article on Yahoo about how some computers may not make the daylight savings time switch since it has been adjusted from April to March 11 this year. I know my computer has an update to make it compliant, but according to the article – don’t take for granted that every computer will make the switch seemlessly.

At first glance, it probably won’t affect things too much except for appointments and such. However, one part of the article is of particular interest:

“It can also affect the businesses we use, so check and save your bank deposits and payments during this period, especially if there’s a fee for missing a deadline.”

I am not really concerned about my computer since the software update should automatically adjust it to the new DST rules. What I am concerned about is what my VCRs clocks will do. I also wonder what will happen on April 1 (April Fools Day) since that is when DST would have begun under the old rules.

My PC is one of those not prepared. I’ll have to manually do it tonight. Maybe after I pay off all these DEBTS I can afford to buy another PC. (The one I use now I purchased in 1998, I just keep updating it.)
