Subject: Data, Time, and all that.

I ran last night.  Now the question is, how is it time stamped?  My
fancy watch sprung forward as it should have and now reads the correct
local time.  My data taking computers which are running on NTP did not.
My fancy alarm clock which is supposed to set itself from Bolder did not
spring forward.  I thought it and the wrist watch worked from the same
source, sigh!

Since the computer time did not change on the data taking computers (I
just checked one since the others are up in the dome) I assume that the
times in the data should be OK.  What do you all think?  Rob?  Michael?
Should we segregate the next two weeks of data until it can somehow be
checked?

Time is fun.  It is not so easy.
