For me it was only my PC that did (rightfully so) fell back an hour.

I had to adjust my two alarm-clocks, my PalmIIIx, my digital camery, my telephone and my cell-phone.
The latter always drives me nuts, why the eff do I have to set the clock on a cell-phone when the whole cell-networking ist based on timecodes?

My cell phone and my Cox digital cable box/DVR. Really freaked me out because I thought I'd gotten my wife to work late.

My iPAQ took the hit.  I bought it after the change in dates for DST in April so I didn't have to fool with it in the Spring.  I may just wait a week before doing anything about it.


Really? What model? My iPAQ hx2495b didn't change. I purchased mine back in June of this year. Its currently 9:34am PST and my iPAQ says its 9:34am PST.

So far, I haven't noticed.  I don't think any of my clocks observe it.  East Indiana used to ignore DST but they started a few years back.

For your Palm this could help. My Palm 505 changed itself, as did my Palm III in earlier years.

Also one of my two VCRs.  I believe I have the other one configured to be set manually so it wasn't affected.

I could only vote on one and I voted VCR  but it is interesting to see that my telephone that has a manual setting for time fell back, yet no one voted for telephone, and also I see that security was also unaffected.

Interesting poll..

Thanks all..

While only my VCRs changed. My 21 year old microwave choose Sunday to give up the ghost! 
Maybe it could not handle the change! 

Of course Microwave bought at Macys in 1986 is not a bad run.

So far I've noticed the DVD/VCR unit and the coffee maker (which surprised me---I didn't think it changed automatically at all).

You know, for years I never got the joke in Airplane about something being in Radar Range, until I found out that Microwaves were called that at one time..... 
Signature? We don't need no stinking... hang on, this has been done... blast [oooh now in Widescreen]
