Daylight Saving Time 2007 (DST) --- Letter To: All Sotapop Customers From: Joel Satovsky Date: March 4, 2007 We are pleased to provide to our clients information about the upcoming Daylight Saving Time change scheduled to occur In order to keep all computers running smoothly, some preventative measures must be taken prior to the Daylight Saving Time change on March 11th. The Microsoft Website has explained this issue at http://support.microsoft.com/dst2007. It lists the steps that need to be made in order to update computers to reflect the new DST. You can go through the steps yourself as a “home user” and this should solve most issues on your home computer or business file server. The Microsoft patch is installed to accommodate the new DST. Macintosh users may simply be covered or need software updates, from what we understand. If no action is taken, you may experience a problem on March 11th or early April, when the "Spring Forward" occurs and your current system is an hour behind. Subsequently, your system may try to "Spring Forward" (if not patched) on April 1st. For Point of Sale clients, terminals may start attempting to “correct” their Daylight Saving Time settings. Results may range from “nominal” to effects upon “employee time punch out data" or “file corruption”. If you have any questions, check our General FAQ’s and DST Tips. For instructions on several distinct point of sale systems, please see our POS-specific FAQ’s page. We are available prior to the event on March 11, 2007 to guide you through this process, as necessary. Our documentation is here for you to not only to reduce our call volume, but also to provide your business a way to keep up with proactive changes. We can implement these changes for you, if you prefer. We hope you enjoy the extra four weeks of sunshine! Best Wishes, Joel H. Satovsky |
