@Moneo: I've never had an issue w/ time zones themself.... the DST is the only thing that's really weird....
But this is what I see when you explian that "better" way.. The way I look at a clock, is a way to locate yourself during the day....
example, I wake up at 6:30am, Normaly eat breakfast around 7:00-8:00am, lunch at 11:00am(or later, some days I might skip it), and so on.... and if I was to pack up and move to the UK, I'd like to keep the same numerical values to my daily pattern, w/o relearing what values equal to what time of the day....
Besides, to me it's faster to sort out time zones when chatting w/ someone overseas, west of me in the US, etc (I can look at my gaim buddy list, and know what time it is for all the ppl on there, w/o much thought).... And calculating this isn't that hard:
I leave at 4pm for the UK, 2 hour flight(est, just for example), 4+2=6 >> 6+5=11pm arivial time...
My two cents... If I made any since... :roll:
