Re: [libreoffice-marketing] for those who have trouble with time zones

Yes, I have that too, once I set my location.

The big thing is knowing what time it is in Europe and on the West coast 
of the USA.

With the Eastern Standard time and Daylight Savings time, remembering 
what our Universal Time offset is a pain.

Hawaii is 6 hours behind, California is only 3 hours behind
London is 6 hours ahead and Hong Kong is 12 hours ahead.

There is Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones in the USA 
alone if you do not add Hawaii and Alaska into the mix.
With the Standard and Savings times, London will be different times over 
the year.  So knowing what time it is in Germany or farther east than 
that, may be needed by a few.  Also, if you live in Europe, you may want 
to know what time it is in some part of the "States".

SO some people might like to have a site that will tell you the exact 
time in a major area of the world.  I know that some people on the lists 
have suggested that.
