Yes. Especially if they log on to Scooby from a computer that does  
not belong to them. ie. checking on a computer from an internet cafe.

The current behavior in Scooby is that the time zone is set to  
whatever time your computer is set to. So if I were to view my Scooby  
calendar from a machine at some internet cafe in Chicago, then it  
would be set to CT, not my original Scooby calendar at PST.

The 'default' is to allow the users to set their own time zone. So if  
the user wants to keep it in PST when looking at their calendar in  
Chicago, then they can. So when they log into a computer in an  
internet cafe in Chicago, they can view their appointment in PST and  
change it to CT if they want to. (That is to say w/out changing the  
time in system preferences on the computer).

The proposal is the same drop down box as it is currently in  
Chandler. Does that make sense?
