Because when the clocks changed, the computer didn't!! Simple!

To defend Lyndon and the server people, changing the clock on big servers can be dangerous - database, web and mail servers rely heavily on the system time for many operations. Simply changing the system clock time can cause nasty effects so it has to be done with care!!
