I suppose you could turn off the auto DST feature available on 99.44% of electronics with calendars.
To: paulat
Computers with Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating systems would need to obtain updates.Since I get one about twice a month, I doubt I'll notice an additional one.

How is having to turn the lights on an hour earlier going to save energy? Not being a morning person, I'm very cranky about this. My own preference would be to end DST at the end of September.

I was hoping to hear what people think about this time change!

Or you could adjust the time yourself the next day.
When I was a kid, we had to do that. Turn the clocks forward and backward manually that is.

Since this is clearly the end of the world as we know it, I'm sending out a desperate request that some beautiful young woman will take pity on me and not let me die a lonely man!

Back when I was a kid, we didn't have clocks, just hourglasses. At the time change, we'd either leave them alone for an hour, or turn them over twice, depending on the season.

Yeah, well, when I was a kid we had to walk across the living room to change the TV channel.

I'm not either. I'm retired and get up around 9am. I like the idea of another hour of daylight in my time clock.
