Time Zone Converter

Sometimes I have to make phone calls to other countries.  This morning I opened an email directing me to contact someone from New Zealand.  I did a quick check on Google "What time is it in New Zealand?" and came up with 10:45 pm.  (it's currently 6:45 am in Eastern TN).  Well I could take the time to do the math and figure out what time it would be here when their office opens at 8am in the morning, but to be honest I'm tired and my brain is fried.  So I had a program do the conversion for me.

Time and Date.com has a lot of neat features that helps you when dealing with business, or even family internationally.  What is even better is that it allows you to add several cities.  So let's say that after I talk to these people in New Zealand, I then have to do a teleconference with my client in California.  I simply add in the goal time:  8am in New Zealand, and then add my city, and my client's city in CA, and viola.  8:00 am (tomorrow) is 4pm here today in TN and 1pm here in CA.
How handy is that?  There are more scheduling features that are helpful.  But I'll let you explore those!
