Ok, I'll accept that. However, it >still< seems to me that it's
curious that there is a four hour difference when he's in EDT and
EDT is four hours off UTC, which is the default time kept on many
Unix machines in hardware, is an option in Linux, etc. Looks to me
like he may have something that either thinks he's keeping UTC when
he's not, or one that thinks he's NOT using UTC when he is... and
judging from what you've said and what he said when I mentioned
this point, it's the first of those two.
Of course, that doesn't tell him WHERE the problem is... just WHAT
the problem is.

Nope, it's EDT GMT-4 and EST GMT-5. The U.S. is after UTC (GMT is
*supposed to* be deprecated) as the sun shines, so it's negative.
