I don't see customers being willing to add an item such as
this to the tasks they have to accomplish already for an election, given that
this adds (say in Alameda) 4,000 units to go through. Customers don't need
correct times down to the minute, and therefore shouldn't have to be checking
times before each election. They need it to be roughly correct, meaning
within a few minutes.

Windows CE - AVTS R6 - Not Changing Time
Just
my 2 cents... Computers do not keep perfect time. If the
time is important, customers should always check the time before an
election. Changing to daylight savings or standard time should not
be a big deal if they are checking anyway.

So
what do we have the customer do, until the new fix???

Jeff,
It seems Microsoft in
their great wisdom decided not to support automatic daylight saving time
adjustment. We will add this to our task to do.

Subject: Daylight Savings Time -
Windows CE - AVTS R6 - Not Changing Time
I have tried
several times to get the Daylight Savings Time to work on the AVTS R6
unit. I have set the date to April 6th at 11:30p.m., I
have the Daylight savings time currently in effect, box checked. I
then have let it run for over 3 hours, so the time is 2:30a.m. on April
7th, but it does not change the time to 3:30a.m. as it should. Do
I need to let the R6 run for a full 24 hours, since it is Windows
CE??? I can change the time on my laptop or any other computer in
the office to 1:59a.m., April 7th, and when it turns 2:00a.m., it
automatically goes to 3:00a.m. Is this a bug in CE, or am I doing
something wrong???
