WTF is wrong with these people, has the automatic time switch function
always worked perfectly for everyone or something, I mean bfd so a computer
is off by an hour until someone changes the clock. what like we've never
had that happen before?

Twice every year I have to change half our computer's manually. That's why
I run an NST program on some of them. it corrects the clocks every 5000
seconds and cost me a whopping $0.
