ON THE CUTTING EDGE: Spring Forward A Lot Faster This Year
Like many of us, Los Angeles Times writer Don Reisinger dreads Daylight Daylight Saving Time because it takes him an hour or two to change the time on the “slew” of portable and household gadgets he owns. But that’s not the worst of it:
[M]y family knows that I'm the one person in the crew who can walk them through how to change the time on all those products.
All day my phone rings with requests from family members asking me why their microwave time isn't changing when they press the "clock" button.
It's a nightmare.
Luckily for him - and us - he found a Website, Retrevo, that has posted 100,000 manuals for microwaves, VCRs, faxes and other gadgets that will need to be fiddled with on Sunday. “Users need only to download the manuals and flip to the page describing how to change the time, and they're all set.”
Given the need to troubleshoot an errant gizmo from time to time, this would be a handy page to bookmark no matter what time of year it is.
