My father was using Windows 95 till last month. I bought a new PC for him and got that old one for experimentation.

And it will be lighter an hour later for Halloween so the kids out trick or treating will be somewhat safer. In my area the sun sets on Halloween at 5 pm way too early. Plus it won't feel so bad in the Fall when it starts getting dark so early, it will be pushed back a couple of weeks. If you like the sun and daylight, you should be for the new changes. Some people get confused by the term "daylight savings" thinking it means less daylight when it's just the opposite. The savings is supposed to come in the form of energy, hence it was included in the 2005 Energy Bill.

My mistake, I thought the article said that standard time would be extended and daylight savings was to be shortened.

In that case, I'm ecstatic

He's talking about Windows 2000, you're speaking of Windows ME. Probably a worst system than Win 95.

Windows ME was the worst piece of software ever conceived. Biggest pile of shit code you could think of. It is much worse than most people think.
