More and more repercussions of this are coming to mind. Microsoft will have to come up with patches for their operating systems because they're coded to change the time automatically based on the April/October thing.

I just bought my kids alarm clocks (I'm trying so hard to get them up in the mornings!) and my son's knows the time automatically (microchipped with the info) and automatically adjusts for DST also. You have to code which time zone you're in initially (Eastern is default) and have to manually mess with it if you live in Indiana or Arizona.

I'm just missing how this would save anything. I'm going to use the lights either first thing in the morning or last thing at night either way.. no difference. I'm up from 5:30 am til 11 pm either way.
