You need to use the "User Control Panel" and I think it's under "board preferences".

Not all areas observe Daylight Savings Time. (Arizona and Hawaii don't) On the other hand, some locations observe it all year long. China stretches across three time zones on the map, but observes only one. Some places (Newfoundland, Venezuela, Afghanistan) are only a half hour behind/ahead of adjacent time zones. Central Australia is odd. It's an hour and a half ahead of Perth on the west coast, and a half hour behind Melbourne, on the east coast. And Alaska lies across five time zones, but observes only two.

Lima, Peru, on the Pacific side of South America, is in the same time zone as Miami and New York City, on the Atlantic side of North America. (And the Atlantic mouth of the Panama Canal, is further west than the Pacific mouth, just as Reno, Nevada, is further west than Los Angeles.)

So now who wants to discuss the merits of either maintaining Daylight Savings Time or abolishing it altogether?

I should have put a smiley face behind my comment. I wasn't entirely serious. Though if someone takes me up on it I could move the remainder of the thread to Jump in the Fire anyway.
