We could golf until 9 PM in the summer, and it was awesome. Plus, people now know what time we are on, and do not "switch" time zones for 6 months out of the year.

If it's useful in the summer then it ought to be useful all year. I don't care what time we settle on but let's stop screwing up appointments and schedules twice a year. I work in transportation. The day after the time change is always a horror. And it takes about a week to get people back to normal. I had one idiot tell me we got an hour of extra light with DST. Sorry, no act of Congress can add a microsecond of daylight or change the rotation of the earth in any way. All year DST is fine with me as is all year standard time. The unnecessary chaos twice a year is just plain wasteful. DST is a total waste of time. If it’s useful in the summer then it ought to be useful all year.

I just changed mine to 'Autumn' on my XP box, be interesting to see if a change comes about. hmm, interesting idea about the blue in the desktop screen.
