both "mickey" and "minnie" needed to be told - lots of their friends here
still get up an hour too early .....  
(IBM 370s don't even know about "continuous time" after 'power-off')

could some knowledgable hacker voice an opinion on what it would take to
a) run the clock in Zulu (GMT) time?
b) set the display to a time-zone chosen from a menu
c) create some software that would automate the time-changes in spring and fall
d) keep files with a date/time-stamp in Zulu, but displaying it in the
	chosen time-zone time, when listing a directory.
e) keep the date and time permanently displayed on the screen, maybe as part
	of the menu-line.  updating it once every minute would be quite
	sufficient.

Maybe Apple ought to start a program where they offer $$$s to hackers who
make small / neat programs available for public distribution by Apple.
Sure would be good advertising and shouldn't cost more than a fraction
of what they throw at TV and magazines for generating catchy "over-statements"
