  Personally, I wish they'd institute DST year round (i.e., shift us one hour
out of synch always).  I could care less if the sun is up when I have to get
up and come in to school - I'm more concerned with it being up later so I can
enjoy myself in the sun (soccer, softball, whatever).  I know quite a few
people that feel this way.  The only other person who I know that doesn't like
DST is my mother, whose opinions don't matter anyway :-).

  Ah, but permanently installing DST would make it just as easy to program
(not that I see that as important). :-)
