Will DST IT costs eclipse energy savings costs?

My apologies if anyone has mentioned this, but I wonder if anyone will ever be able to estimate the costs associated with 3/11 vs. proposed energy savings costs. Any opinions?

I'm not sure. But I can't imagine that even if IT costs were higher that they would be higher very long. Now that it is set back earlier, the date will stay the same every year, and the IT costs only happen once.

Huh? Are you guys talking about DST being moved three weeks? How would that affect the IT world?

Yes, because supposedly it is a big deal and people had to bring in outside consultants to fix things, or pay $3000+ for a Windows2k patch, ect.
