Since I've had a computer, it has always reverted itself corrected with the new daylight time. This year in NZ, daylight saving was extended another 3 weeks as an experiment. Again my computer has faithfully turned itself back to the correct time, at the correct time. So how does my computer know we had the extension? Of all the things that I have lost, it's my mind that I miss the most. New Zealand Photography

Not sure how it knows but Microsoft usually comes out with something to let machines know when to change times. Someone more techie than I can explain this better Saffy. Now if I can get this stupid signature to show. Maybe I'll have to write the Help desk agian. LibraryLady11 (LL)

Our Premier decided to extend dayl;ight savings for one week about 2 weeks before it was due to change back, but there were a lot of people thta hadn't realised it until they turned up for work an hour early. Go figure! http://www.inkdskin.com/skull.gif

Actually the origins of it as a name are not really nice, and I prefer not to think of it that way but - you know when somebody has had the severe misfortune to become so ill that they are only alive with the help of modern medicine ... they are like a "vegetable", hence - cabbage.

Now that's a cabbage thought. Oh, also on cabbages... the students here sometimes use that word when relating to subjects when they have a softer option. Eg English and Maths - two subjects that sometimes just don't suit some personalities. So they have the option of having a lighter version of lessons available (not the same credits of course). So they are sometimes referred to as cabbage maths and cabbage english. But for some people, that's all they need for what they're going to do. I'd pick the cabbage maths for sure I think that would suit me... never ever enjoyed maths. Of all the things that I have lost, it's my mind that I miss the most. New Zealand Photography
