Hi Vadim,

that's the result:

Current time: Mon Jun  4 18:22:27 2007
And in PST: Mon Jun  4 17:22:27 2007
The difference: 01:00:00


Actually the time itself is correct and it should be summer time (so the 
time difference should be one hour) but I am DEFINITELY not leaving 
anywhere near the pacific! But it's a less than an hour ride by bicycle 
to the north sea!

BTW: the OS X settings themselves are correct (MESZ)
