I’m switching over to ESDST or Extra Special Daylight Savings Time. Under ESDST, I switch the clocks back 2 hour before Midnight and then advance the clock 2 hours after Noon each day. This gives me more daylight in the morning and the evening!

Until a few years ago it switched on the last Sunday in October. My DVD recorder switched last night but nothing else which is newer or has been upgraded did yet. I’m surprised your new computer did. Usually phones are new enough to either have the new rule or communicate with a base which handles it right.

If you have Win7, double-click on the clock and a message will appear, informing you of the date for DST
