I'd note that all the reference times in this message were in the same timezone just not at the same time. I submit that I really hate having to convert the offset from my current timezone in someone else's particularly when I can't remember when their daylight savings time begins or ends. however the challenge really is that they're not all in my calender rather than than that I need to calculate the offset because software will happily do that for me. > Thanks, > > Spencer > > >> Hi, >> >> I just found out that I missed the deadline for early-bird >> registration and payment.
