From: "Martijn Pieters" <mj@zope.com> > Nope, EST is 6 hours earlier. So 10:00 EST == 16:00 CET. Are differing daylight savings accounted into that? You see, today 12.00 EST was 19.00 CET, so there was a 7 hour difference. http://www.worldtimeserver.com/ says Virginia currently is on standard time, -5 hours before UTC, and France is currently on +2.
