Over the past few days have been looking into the iPhone and its baby brother the iTouch, and I have to say that they are both becoming very interesting.

Previously I haven't had much interest in either of them - particularly the iPhone - because while I am a big fan of PDAs (I would be lost without my LifeDrive), I have never been a fan of smart phones - the segment that the iPhone is pitched at. Every smart phone I have tried to date has made me feel like they were trying to do too much, with the result that they felt both clunky and oddly incapable.

I have had an odd problem with my timezone settings on my Mac over the last few days, I went on holiday recently and (of course) I took my Mac, when I went to change the timezone I discovered that the settings would not "stick", and instead of going back to the timezone I started with, actually went to GMT.

In any case, I worked out what the problem was, so I thought I should post the solution in case anyone else has runs across the same thing.
