Default Re: OT: System Clock Loses Hour

Hehehe, read this and had to chuckle.

Yes, it's the change in daylight savings time, but that's not why I'm snickering.

I'm snickering because 98SE doesn't have this problem at all. I set time to PDT manually on the new day. On the usual day, I fired up my bawx, and 98SE politely said, "Hey, boss, it's time to set the clock ahead. You want me to do that?"

I replied "no", and that was the end of it

Why, why, why are more sophisticated mechanisms, (and there can be no doubt that XP is far more advanced and sophisticated than 98SE), always more subject to quirky little problems like this?
