Guess Indiana isn't the only place that can't quite get a handle on daylight-saving time:
Daylight saving time arrives a little earlier — March 11 — and stays a little later — Nov. 4 — this year. And it's bringing a problem along with it that could affect everything from stock trades to airline schedules to your BlackBerry.
Software created before the law mandating the change passed in 2005 is set to automatically advance its timekeeping by one hour on the first Sunday in April, not the second Sunday in March. Congress decided that more early evening daylight would translate into energy savings.
It's Y2K all over again! Load up your SUV with survival gear and plenty of bullets and cigarettes to barter with and head for Wyoming! (Not Arizona, where you will just get confused all over again.)

But what about the cows!? Dear Lord won't someone please think about the cows?

The cows will undoubtedly handle it better than we humans that are tied too closely to computer/human interface problems.
