Let us not forget about all the embedded devices that automatically adjust 
for DST.  I predict that when this change happens elevators will plunge 
passengers to their deaths, airplanes will fall from the sky, supertankers 
will run aground and explode, phone, TV, and banking networks will 
collapse, and people will riot.  On the morning of Sunday, March 11, 2007 
The worlds largest cities will be in flames and humanity as we know it will 
end.

At least that's what the "experts" told us about the Y2K bug.   I wonder if 
those are the same experts who are now warning us about global warming?

Worse yet, the time on your KPC-3 will be wrong.
