i like the map approach... i know i've seen some sweet Flash and
HTML versions somewhere... but the only reason i remember my
timezone name is because of the tv paper... and there is no GMT
in my world, it's My Time +6 for my brother, My Time -1 for Austin,
etc...
so yeah, an image might be handier on the user than a select
menu...
