Is the timezone based on my PC or it's it always EST?

SampleTimeFilter_NT8.zip commented that "The timezone used here is (GMT -05:00) EST."

Hello johnnybegoode,

It's based on the Tools > Options > General > Preferences setting which by default is set to the timezone of your local computer.
I've emailed our lead to have that comment removed.
