39875, RE: Definitly a time issue on the boards Posted by MapleHutt, Tue Nov-15-05 10:04 AM Probably something to do with the time zones. I think these boards run on Pacific time, no? As for The Roots, congrats on having DYWM?!!!??! go gold. I love that album. Actually, it was an acquired taste. I really wasn't expecting such a jazzy tone when I first copped it. It's become one of the CDs I enjoy listening to most though. Edit: Actually the boards go by whatever settings you choose. It does seem off by 15 minutes though.
