Although this one is probably in the FAQ, I'll take a shot at it
anyway...what are your settings in the Map control panel? Believe it or
not, this is how you set your timezone under MacOS (well, ok, it used to
be the way, now the Date & Time control panel will do it for you). Also,
it's possible that you are having some trouble with Daylight Savings Time
at the moment. What version of the Booter are you using?
Later.
