Bites from this AP wire story, headlined “New Daylight Saving May Cause Tech Problems.”

NEW YORK - When daylight-saving time starts earlier than usual in the United States come 2007, your VCR or DVD recorder could start recording shows an hour late.

Newer VCRs and DVD recorders have built-in calendars to automatically adjust for daylight time. Users would have to override them, switching to "manual" to ensure shows continue to record correctly.

Computers with Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating systems would need to obtain updates. Though most affected applications would likely be taken care of by the Microsoft fix, calendar systems will need to be checked to ensure that appointments already entered get properly adjusted.

A few countries even change dates every year. Israel, for instance, bases daylight time on the lunar Jewish calendar, and Palestinians change their clocks at different times as an assertion of independence. Windows doesn't even provide an auto-adjust option for the time zone covering Jerusalem.

But while other countries have coped, Americans have largely become complacent and expect many clocks to change automatically because dates have been set for two decades, said Lauren Weinstein, a veteran technologist.

Fascinating. And why hasn’t anyone accused Bill Gates of being an anti-Semite for not auto-adjusting Windows to the lunar Jewish calendar prior to this? Maybe after this report, someone finally will.

I always thought Billy had a little anti-Semite in him... Good to have you back Pav!
