Calendar entries change time when changing timezones
Greetings Axers,
Do you know if there is a sensible solution to that problem where you make an appointment in your calendar for say 9am, then travel to a different timezone and the 9am appointment changes with the new timezone.
Say, for example, right now I'm in ... hmmmm ... Iran (really - I am). My friend Dave is getting married in Melbourne in a few months time at 5pm. I put his wedding in my calendar for 5pm, but when I get home and change back to Melbourne time message warning me that "appointment times will shift to match the new timezone".
Now here is the problem: I want my PDA to show the correct local time when I'm travelling. I also want to enter appointments into my calendar without having to calculate what time it will be in Iran when it's 5pm in Melbourne. That's what computers are for!
It seems to me that appointments need to have radio buttons that say:
o Appointment changes with timezones
o Appointment does not change with timezones
Does anyone have a clever way of working around this little problem?
