| 392665 | 2005-10-02 04:41:00 | Supplementary question: How many clocks do you actually have to change? At our place (domestic residence), there are at least 22 (!) - I always forget one or two, which is why I can't be definite about the figure. That includes cars, stove/microwave, aircon and underfloor heating controllers etc. My brother in law in the UK has a wall-clock that is synchronised to a broadcast time signal, so (a) it is always dead accurate, and (b) he doesn't have to worry about DST. Roll on the day when we have that here. |

| 392666 | 2005-10-02 04:58:00 | Let's see . . . . In this room, (Master bedroom) 5 computers, 4 online; 2 wall clocks, battery powered and no chance for a signal from the power company or the internet; 2 wind-up alarm clocks, ditto for synching them; 2 vcr's w/ clocks that reset automatically and 1 tv that has to be set manually . Living room, 1 home theater with 2 dvd's (auto time setting); one vcr without auto feature; 1 wall clock on batteries . TV is self-setting as are both cd-player/burners as they are also programmable recorders . # 2 bedroom, 1 wall/battery clock and 1 digital alarm clock; 1 am/fm/cd player and tuner wit clock, not auto set; 1 tv with built-in auto setting clock . # 3 bedroom, 1 battery wall clock, 1 digital alarm clock w/o autoset . Kitchen, 1 microwave, 1 gas oven/stove and both these auto set to the correct time; 1 cd-am/fm stereo with auto set, 1 battery wall clock . Laundry room, heater/air conditioner (not used as a/c unit though) with auto-setting timer for thermostat . Carport, lawn sprinkler system that auto-sets, lawn lighting and motion sensors that are on a stupid on-off timer that is always needing to be reset without DS time changes anyway . 3 vehicles with lcd clocks that are not auto-set . total count of timers/clocks/displays: 40 that I can count at this moment . :angry . . . . . OH, and assorted wrist watches and my Palm (auto setting) make that about 50 timekeepers that I can think of . . . . . . |

| 392668 | 2005-10-02 05:48:00 | Why would anyone have 2 wall clocks in the same room? well . . . . . . the rooms that have 2 or more wall clocks are "L" shaped or have a blind area that is used . . . like a library area, or a desk for writing . . etc . . . . This Master Bedroom has so many clocks because of the shape of it, and the fact that it has an extension for my guitars and amplifiers and then there's the 'puter niche too . . . all in "one room" that is actually composed of 4 rooms tied together . . . You really can't see all the clocks in one view anyway . . . so I put them in . . . |

Thats 19 clocks I've got to set. I didn't realise I had so many. |

| 392672 | 2005-10-02 20:42:00 | We didn't actually forget..husband changed bedroom clock..our pc's changed themselves, but I forgot to change my watch. We were meeting overseas friends at Waitomo, a 2 hour drive from here and I was still mentally on pre-change time!! A mad last minute dash for me to get ready. I was reading that the decision to change clocks to early October, from what used to be a few weeks later, was because "people wanted it earlier". Can anyone remember any discussion on changing to an earlier time? I've asked several people and no one can remember any dialogue involving General Joe Public on the change.
