Daylight Savings Time and Home Computers

Background: Previously, from 1987 through 2006, the start and end of daylight savings dates were the first Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October.  Starting in 2007, most of the United States and Canada observe DST from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, with transitions at 02:00 local time.  The 2007 U.S. change was part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
