Your msg had Me thinking if there is a Time Standard(NIST) in the USA, why
don't newer products that have a digital clock in them not include the option
for the clock to be changed periodically (for areas that observe Daylight
Savings Time) if the user needs to.

I have 8 clocks in my house, 1 in the auto and a wrist watch that gets changed
twice a year due to my living in a area that observes DST.
