Thank You very much RC:

  But it seems that I accidently did do it right, and I had it set to just
what you said I should have it set to: -- (GMT -05:00) Eastern Time (USA &
Canada)
BUT...
I didn't have that little box checked at the bottom for daylight saving
time, I must have missed it or something.

but then again you stated that by looking at my post it was set at the wrong
time. How can that be if I've had it set at (see above)?

What is GMT anyway? and what is -05:00?

I'm getting the feeling that what I have it set at, and what it thinks it's
set at are 2 different things? is that possible?
