From: "Information Technologies Special Bulletins"
Subject: Win/Mac and Daylight Saving Time

(This message is being sent to all faculty and staff; a similar message is being sent to all students.)

As you may know, Daylight Saving Time will start 3 weeks earlier this
year, on Sunday, March 11, and end 1 week later, on November 4.

Most Windows and Mac computers require an operating system update to
accommodate the new Daylight Saving Time period.

Your computer should be all set if ...
(a) it runs Windows XP (SP2), Mac 10.3, or Mac 10.4, and
(b) it is set to allow automatic updates from Microsoft or Apple, and
(c) it has been updated since Feb. 16, 2007

Windows Vista does not need updating.

If your computer does not allow automatic updates, or if it is running
an older Windows or Mac OS, you will need to update it manually. Please
see http://www.cit.cornell.edu/computer/system/daylight.htmlImage Removed

If you use other networked devices, such as a smartphone or PDA, you may
also need to update them to accommodate this change; look for
instructions from your device's manufacturer.

Not updating your computer may result in problems in mid-March to early
April and again in late Oct. to early Nov. each year when software and
services that interact with your computer's clock are used. (Your
computer will still be adjusting for the old Daylight Saving Time
period, which began the first Sunday in April and ended the last Sunday
in October.)

If you have questions or concerns, please email the Contact Center
at helpdesk@cornell.edu or call 255-8990.

Thank you!
