It is absolutely incredible that one MUST stick to single time zone to make
things work properly!!! If I change time zone on my computer, the whole
calendar will go totally wrong!!! and I discovered that when I missed my d**n
flight!!

I cannot believe that this is happening. It gets worst - this is the case
even inmy Pocket PC!! The whole thing with time zones is completely useless,
and I have to manually change to clock, of not, all scheduling goes down the
drain...

Use the dual time zone feature in Outlook and a 3rd party clock that can
display any timezone if you need the tray clock displayed.

BTW - changing the computer clock to show the correct local time instead of
changing the time zone will really screw things up, especially if you
connect to a network. Many mail servers won't accept mail from systems if
they are wildly out of sync... and it irritates a lot of people when the
mail shows the wrong sent time. For this reason, combined with Outlook's
handling of Time zones, I use the two time zone feature in Outlook and a
clock that will display the time in any time zone (there are many clocks
that display the time in different zones - I use power pro

I operate in 4 time zones. I travel back and forward between 4 places and
have conference calls and meetings etc.
It is not something unique - I know a lot of people that do that, at least
almost all of my colleagues. And I simply cannot believe that Microsoft would
not handle this better. Things get even worst with Pocket PC.
