Great - now multiply the time it took to do it by 300,000,000 people in
the US. And don't forget the microwave, the oven, the VCR, . . .

But you don;t need to change the microwave, or cooker time do you ?
Cokoing time doesn't change depending oin time of year.
VCR yes if you still have such an antique device my DVD recorder changes
itself ;-)


You want the clock on the microwave oven to be correct if you use any type of
automatic timed cooking.

It's far less complicated than figuring out if the Customer Service
phones will be answered by companies in other time zones when I'm making
calls early in the morning or late afternoon.

Particularly when you don't know if they're in Arizona, California or New
Mexico (for example) all of whom have different ideas of the time. As I
understand the Chinese get around the whole damned problem by having one
time zone for the entire country.

And India splits it in to 30 min times zones.
