Sorry but after 20+ years of debate every session, it was just cheaper 
to change timezones, change DST, change anything. Just end the argument.

Somehow it came about that changing to DST would save millions of 
dollars a year and bring in billions in additional income to the state. 
Not sure how, no one ever answered that question.

But looking at the docs for Exchange server and LookOut it would seem 
that PC support companies are going to make a fortune ;^)
