Daylight Saving could be a Problem

Not too many people realize that daylight savings this year occurs on March 11, which is 3 weeks earlier than last year.  The problem is that older software programs are not aware of this change.  If you’re using Windows XP service pack 2 or later you shouldn’t need to worry.  Microsoft will have a fix for that.  However, if you’re using Windows 2000 or earlier it may be more problematic.  Other legacy software may also hiccup.

The biggest issue might be as stated in the San Francisco Chronicle ‘For instance, airlines could be thrown off schedule, creating havoc for travelers. People could miss meetings. Cell phone calls could be mistakenly billed during peak hours. All kinds of automatic orders and messages could be mistimed”

Will this be a big as Y2K?  Tech experts don’t think so.  But you might want to make sure that you’re covered.
