"I told the SOS folks about it." Supposedly, it should only happen this year (he said he believes it happens again in another 20). The thing is this code is performed when the Newt powers on, so you should wait until after DST to set it correct. Bad April Fool's joke on our part! 8^) jeremy -- _________________________________________________________ Jeremy Wyld Newton Systems Group wyld@newton.apple.com Apple Computer, Inc. _________________________________________________________
