DST.png

In 2007, several countries change the dates on which they observe Daylight Saving Time (DST). In the United States, all states except Arizona and Hawaii will begin observing Daylight Saving Time on March 11.

Your computer may need to be updated to adjust for these changes. Apple has released updates to fix this problem. If you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or 10.3 (Panther) use your Mac’s Software Update feature (Apple Menu> Software Update…) to automatically download the new DST update.
