And once again Microsoft's retarded handling of time zones fucks me over. I'm in Auckland, and set an appointment for 10am on Tuesday, incidentally in Seattle. There's no place to *tell* Microsofts calendar that the appointment is in Seattle.

Then I fly to Seattle, dutifully changing my default time zone to Pacific US. And Outlook moves all my appointments to match my new time zone- including the 10am Tuesday one, which becomes Monday 3pm.

Why cant it just leave it alone?!?!

Microsoft, that's why.

That's why you need an iPhone and MobileMe! :-)

I looked a the iPhone but it's a bit limited in what it can do, even though the few things it does, it does well...

Might have worked if you switched to Seattle time before making the appointment for Seattle then switched back?

That's Microsoft's solution too. The annoying thing is that if I change the time zone on my PC, it doesnt fuck with my appointments- why does Windows Mobile work differently?

That's just daft. What about people (for example) here in the USA who might have to keep track of appointments in both LA and New York?
