They say its to save electricity....
But I think its so people will have more time in the afternoon to go shoping and spend money, and drive in their cars and buy more gas.

How crazy... I actually forgot about it until I came across this thread and the funny thing is that I was at the office all morning installing patches across the network.

Thanks RU, you saved my rear or I would have been late tomorrow morning!!!

i do believe they started observing it last year or 2 years ago...

 

[bronco300]

we started to go with the trend now for some reason, oh well...i dont think alaska does it either

Indiana does change time they were kindda funky some places changed others didnt.
for example South Bend In didnt change time south of there they changed and north into michigan changed time. It got really confusing cause south bend was 5 minutes from michigan border so you had to factor that into anything you did there and then of you went south the same thing it really made for a bad time to figure out when you had to leave to get somewhere LOL so now from all the complaints they now change time aswell.
One thing about this time change that nobody has mentioned yet check those auto daylight savings devices like your computer and others it coming earlier than normal this year and can cause some problems there have been several software updates for this out there. I think it normally didnt happen till april but its lasting till november from what I have heard any else hear this??
