Daylight Savings

<div class="IPBDescription">what the hell is happening?!</div> OK. Something is seriously wrong with Daylight savings time. A computers clock will automatically update itself for daylight savings. Most VCR or TV clocks will NOT. Now, yesterday, my computer and VCR both read the right time. The exact same time, I used my computer to set my VCR. Now, today, my computer says (right now) 10:51, while my VCR says 9:51. As expected, right? My VCR is one hour behind because it doesn't update itself.

...

So, my question is why in hell does everyone seem to think 9:51 is the correct time AFTER daylight savings, except for me? There is no way it could possibly be the right time, my VCR can't update itself, it's time hasn't been changed since the last time I had to unplug it and since then it has told the correct time. Now, my computer seems to be the only clock showing a 1 hour difference. It's confusing the hell out of me! There's no way for the past year and a half my computers clock has been wrong, I know it hasn't been wrong, otherwise I would have been getting to school an hour late or an hour early every day. Anyone think they know what happened? I really can't figure it out.

    I have no idea. This topic makes my head hurt... or maybe that's the really loud music.

    yeah, so I was all ready for this "time change" that I'm so used to... But NO! I live in Indiana! "Time change? Screw that!"
    I spent all weekend confused and crying, running into walls b/c I couldn't sleep. Oh the horror!

    Wait, it might have been the psychotropic drugs that made me cry, but I was confused by the lack of time change regardless.

    so half of the year, indiana is part of the eastern time zone, and the other half, its the central time zone. Its in a time warp!!
