'UTC'. That line's box isn't checked ; 'Toronto' below is checked. |

Well anyway, I unchecked "Toronto" & was warned that >= 1 must be checked |
| 16 |
& that it had automatically checked "Local : your system time zone", |
| 17 |
after which the time showed was correct, ie now "5:26:38" (sb "05:26:38") ; |
| 18 |
it doesn't say "EST" anymore, but that doesn't matter much. |

The label 'UTC' under 'City' is very misleading. |
