hi
i have a rather pesky problem. arizona doesn't believe in daylight
savings. this is normally not a problem for our dec alpha's - az has its
own time zone line. everything i have ever seen works fine from this.
until now of course. i have taken to using the calendar from the cde tool
bar. since the time zone change for the rest of the US the calendar has
been off by an hour for me in Az. for example, it pops up reminders an
hour too early. i found that one can customize the time zone via the pull
down menu (view/time zone). my time zone is listed as MST7MWT. the time
zone setting lets me chose 'My Time' (the MST7MWT), or an offset from GMT.
my three questions are:
1) why does the calendar not (default) follow the rest of the
computer regarding the time? this seems ridiculous!
2) is the only way to get the right time to do an offset from GMT?
or can i tell the calendar (like i tell the computer) that i am in
arizona?
3) is there something i should have set up for the calendar to
know the correct time zone?
thanks!
ciao
claudia
