Standard Time/Daylight Savings Time Problem

Thanks for the responses to my problem.

Nathan: The time and date were just fine. The issue is the dialog box that
popped up on Sunday asking me if I wanted to go to standard time.

Since I had my Omnigo 100 on European time this past summer, I thought Warren &
Sandy had a good explanation.

I went into World Time and tried syncing both ways. Washington, DC was
selected. Later I realized that the time was now an hour ahead. I used setup
to subtract the hour so it's fine at least until the end of the month.
