Thanks for the info, Doug. I wasn't aware that Window98 put out an update
for the time changes, once the official date change a few years ago. Once
that happened, I just turned off the option to "adjust for daylight savings
time" and I've set it myself twice a year.
Evidently though, my newserver is still using that old date too. In old
years the time changed last weekend and I could no longer post. I have
played with the date thing and even if I set mine back to "adjust for DLST"
it still changes my time to an hour early.
No worries. For the next few days, my posting time will show an hour early.
Next Sunday, all will be fixed and I'll be able to post with the correct
time. The newserver just won't allow posting *from the future*. I'm
posting this at 5:08 but my headers will show 4:08
