Early DST Produces *NO* Savings So Far

The new earlier date for Daylight Savings Time was inaugurated this year (with much ballyhoo and considerable trouble for those of us who work on computers, all of which had to be upgraded to deal witht he new time) in an effort to decrease energy useage. It may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but so far energy savings appear to have been for nought. Of course, now someone up in the Federal Government will decide this means we need to go BACK to the old DST, or some new middle ground of DST in the near future. Please no! We don't need to upgrade all computer systems again for another artificial crisis.
