   Wiki DST article is worth reading.  Looks like US, Canada and EU are   
   most of the world users and negatives outweigh positives.  I suspect US   
   would stop it but undecided between DST and standard time.   
      
   My biggest gripe is that unlike old days where watch or clock was easy   
   to change electronic stuff can be a PITA.  On fax machine which I now   
   seldom use, you have to read the manual to figure it out.  On previous   
   car with computer it took me a half hour to figure out the first time.   
   Even my damn atomic's are flaky.
