The map was kind of big and I did not want to send out a big change set...
It could be stored locally or even in the image for that matter.
The time over the net thing was because there is to my knowledge 
no way for Squeak to tell which time zone you are in. Therefor
I got the gmt from the Squeak site and compared to the local
time in Squeak to find the time zone. 
It can also be hard coded...
I'll hack up a change set which do what you want :-)
