If you applied the appropriate binary patches AFTER the 2:00AM deadline
on April 2nd, then you're clock won't AUTOMATICALLY go ahead one hour. 
You'll notice it will keep the same time, but the TIMEZONE will now
read EDT (or CDT, PDT, or etc...).  If that's the case, just set your
clock one hour ahead by hand.
