>Anyway, it looks like Microsoft took the joke to heart and added a
>feature(?) to Windows 95 that would allow their employees to get more
>hours out of the day. Here's what a guy at UAC noticed this morning:
>
> 0600z: He's typing along, and Windows 95 pops up a window telling
> him about the time change and proceeds to change the clock.
> 0700z: He's still typing, and as the clock hits 2am again, the same
> thing happened again.

>Now the question is, when will this stop? Will it keep going until
>he's not typing at 2am? Will it keep going until it's 2am in Seattle?
>Will it keep going until 1997 when Win96 comes out?
