What time is it?

Tonight I noticed when I was NOT logged in, and being from the East coast it was actually showing the right times for everything. Then I logged in and of course the time was wrong... Had to change from GMT -6 to GMT -5 and then all was good!
Anyone else notice this?
Oh, and also...
I think there's something going on with the amazon ads and Internet Explorer again
And the solution is NOT to use firefox, though that's the only way I can post this...

But what time is it in Hawaii?
I'm having trouble with the Amazon ads, too, running Firefox on a MacBook....

No problem with Ads... (am on Firefox at home IE at work)
But I did notice that my GMT time changed somewhere between the time I was logged off at 4:00 pm MTN time to when I got home and logged in at 6:00 pm......

Right! so we agree! Using firefox now, out of desperation!

but normally use IE when at home...
If I try to view with IE I just get this light blue colored page... View source, and I can see all the HTML, but IE is not showing anything...

mine locks up after loading everything but the ads, and I have to open a new window.... not every time.... must be just certain ads..... I've dumped the cache, etc, and it doesn't help...

A little while ago when I logged on, for some reason the time showed G.M.T. -7 hours, rather than the usual -6 hours.
THEN, the discussion board page would not load at all for over 20 minutes.
It seems to be fine now-I won't even TRY to make sense of what happened.
I can actually understand the
EINSTEIN THEORY better than I can understand computers.

So I'd guess you are at home now...? That 's why you can read this?
Ahhh now... I see now I can BN with IE now!
Something drastically wrong with that last Amazon ad!
BTW... I'd guess it's 5:38 pm somewhere!

I think I understood my last girlfriend more than I understand computers.
And she DID remind me of a U.F.O.

While reading this page about troubles with IE and Amazon ads, I noticed Amazon was advertising "Firefox for Dummies". AHHH Irony!

The Truth Is Out There.
