Mini-Y2K

Are you ready for daylight savings time?

You may or may not be aware that the dates that daylight savings time begins and ends have been changed for 2007. Daylight savings time will begin on March 11th which is three weeks earlier than in the past and ends one week later in the fall. On initially thinking about this change, you may realize that the clock on your computer will be off or your electronic calendar will be wrong. But the bigger issue is with scheduled tasks of back-ups, batch processes, etc. Companies have been working to solve these issues before the time change occurs on the 11th. Patches for the Windows XP operating system can be found on the Microsoft website, if you have upgraded to Vista it is included.
