New energy bill may create "mini Y2K"

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/050808/dayli...ving_tech.html

Quote:
An energy bill President Bush is to sign Monday would start daylight time three weeks earlier and end it a week later as an energy-saving measure.

And that has technologists worried about software and gadgets that now compensate for daylight time based on a schedule unchanged since 1987.
