Atomic Clocks did, even my atomic watch did :P

Cell phones did, and they even asked me if they got it right

Suse did, Windows Vista did. XP Pro did.

Everything but the Microwave and my alarm clock. lol

Everyting updated perfectly except for my Linksys WRT54GL running Hyperwrt 2.1b1 + Thibor15c. That in turn gave my IP phone the wrong time.

I do the same thing I do every year. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

Yep. My company's IS department warned us a couple weeks ago to print out our calendars for March and October. I had to fix all my appointments this morning.

Mine were as well. My company pushed down a fix last week and for whatever reason all appts put in last week are off by one hour. So much for the fix.

Verizon FIOS TV in Dallas cannot seem to get it together though. First thing Sunday morning the TV set boxes had the correct time, the DVR box did not. Later that afternoon the Verizon FIOS TV setboxes and the DVR jumped two hours ahead of what they were the day before. So now when it should say 1:15 PM the clock is saying 2:15 PM. I called to report it yesterday, couldn't get through. Called again today and the first message on their technical support line says "we are aware of the TV setbox and DVR time issue and are working to resolve it", so I just hung up. I think it's hysterical Verizon claims to be all that and a bag of chips with their FIOS service and can't get a time change right.

Window XP notebook seems fine, Im in California so I havent checked my office desktop.

Treo 700w - Verizon - patch installed - changed time but apparently did so by quantum teleporting me to Caracas/La Paz as my location.

HTC TyTN - TMobile - Patch installed (twice) - didnt change, did it manually

HTC SDA - TMobile - totally gobsmacked, thinks I am in Denver and changed all my appointment times as well.

XP Pro Desktop--switched.
XP Pro Laptop--switched.
Ubuntu Laptop--switched.
Solaris Workstation--switched.
Blackberry--switched, but went slightly nuts yesterday necessitating a "yank the battery reboot."

Total non-event except for the darkness in the morning.

My laptop and desktop both updated times just fine. I did/do have a problem when I went to back up my desktop Sunday night, I found that the system files were seen to be off by one hour by the sync program. I cancelled the process ... now I'm not sure if I should just start over or this will reset it itself at some point when we pass the 'normal' time for a time change.

The Outlook problem is very annoying. It would have been better to adjust the clock manually and not screw up all the appointments. By forcing the patch on us they actually made things harder to fix.

My Outlook/computers/atomic clocks did fine. Only thing I had to adjust was the watch and wall clocks.

Early DST

My personal brain OS, AKA AlecBrainOS, or maybe just OS, (or EgoOS?) did just great -

And enjoyed having more light at the end of the day.

No problems except for one recurring meeting that spans the DST period that was one hour off during the three weeks between old and new DST.

Another apocalypse averted.

Talking

I have a number of LaCrosse Technology radio clocks in my home, and only one of them switched over to the correct time.

Did the atomic clock scientists not get the word regarding the new DST?
