[Tfug] Just a tad OT RE DST

[Jim Secan]

I agree, I think I'm OK.  My only Solaris box doesn't talk much to the
outside world any more.  I nosed around the 'net a bit and found some
possible patches, but all were way more work/hassle than seemed
appropriate.  Maybe if Monday comes and my Solaris box starts emulating a
box of bricks I'll look harder at this.  Or maybe that's when I bite the
proverbial bullet and port it all to a Linux solution (or OS X).

But sheesh, $400 for a timezone patch?  I understand the marketing side of
this (don't like it?  upgrade to 10), but come on guys.
