Why no, not at all. My time zone is right here in Michigan. It's all
the rest of you that are far away ;-)

Yes, that's right. With a SqueakTrunk image, I get this:

  DateAndTime now ==> 2015-04-09T19:52:01.01+01:00

But it should be this:

  DateAndTime now ==> 2015-04-09T19:52:01.01-04:00

If I enable the useLocale preference, I get the correct time zone offset:

  DateAndTime now ==> 2015-04-09T19:58:05.576-04:00
