I've probably asked this before, but is there a certain way to set up my profile so I don't have to keep changing the clock every time Daylight Savings Time comes around?

Does anyone else bother changing it in the first place?

That's what I click every six months, Chief. Sometimes I have to adjust the bar above it (yours shows Mountain Time).

Was just wondering if there was a better way so it did it automatically.

Computers use your network IP address. Cell phones use your local network (cell tower or wifi). The board doesn’t use that information. So your only option is to move to Arizona or Hawaii where they don’t observe DST.

indiana didn't do it when i was growing up. i never have gotten used to it after 21yrs. 1/2 the year just feels off, and by the time you get used to it bang do it again. since i left there they actually decided to do it. it always was a bass akward place so i'm not real surprised.
