Of course, that's not the only inconvenience inherent in springing forward this year—computers and electronics of various stripes have long been programmed to change the time according to a schedule that has been in place for decades.

So if you want to make sure the trains in your digital life are running on time come Monday morning, here's a quick rundown of what you need to know.

Managing Microsoft If your PC is running the most recent version of Microsoft (MSFT) Windows, known as Vista, you don't need to do anything.

The new operating system was programmed with the new time-change schedule in mind.

Prior versions, however, need an update, which can be downloaded.

See Microsoft's Daylight Saving Time Help & Support Center for more information on versions of Windows going as far back as Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 4.

Versions of Windows that are even older, including Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 95, need a little more help.

Your best bet is to use a utility called tzedit.exe, which can be found either on the Windows installation CD or downloaded from Microsoft's Web site.

Managing Macintosh If you're an Apple (AAPL) user, most Macs bought during the last two years and running Mac OS X should be fine, provided you've been regularly updating your software.

They'd run me out of town so fast all you'd see is feathers flying.

Forget the "that dog won't hunt" phrase.

How about "that bird won't shut up." advertisement So, daylight savings.

It was created to make better use of daylight and to save energy.

In my book, looking for the right products that save us personal time and energy any time of the year is time is well spent.

I've been doing some homework on home-improvement products that will hopefully save us both.

Today we're focusing on painting, still the No.

1 home-improvement project.

Consumer Reports finds that, in general, today's paints are more durable and higher quality than a few years ago.

They spatter less, tolerate scrubbing and are better at releasing stains and resisting mildew, to name a few benefits.

Let's see what years of Consumer Reports research reveals.

The broad stroke First, how did Consumer Reports come up with its ratings for paints?

For exterior paints, the testers applied two coats of paint to a primed panel of wood siding.

They then put it through an accelerated weathering process for up to three years.

The overall scores were based on appearance, how well it resisted dirt, changed color from the sunlight, how well it prevented mildew and the price.

For interior paints, it tested hiding performance (how well two coats cover a contrasting color), surface smoothness, resistance to staining,...
