Here's another small tip: You can use Map to set your clock at the start and
end of daylight saving. Once you've set your timezone the first time with Map,
it will adjust your clock every time you change your timezone thereafter, so
GMT stays the same. The advantage with this, of course, is that starting/
stopping daylight saving doesn't throw the time off in other cities around the
world.
