for me, here in cst, i have never had a problem of thinking - 6 hours for
local time and - 5 for dst. once you do it for a while, it is second nature.
when i had to use msbsos, i always used gmt and disabled dst. even had
a few people tell me my clock was off. for some reason they had trouble
understanding why i did not use dst and were more confused when i would
reply with, 'not every body does'.
