Timezone changes in Outlook

[Puzzled]

Whenever I travel and change the timezone on my handheld or laptop, all my
meeting times/appointments in Outlook are automatically moved. E.g. When I
move from London to Toronto, an 8am appointment in London becomes a 3am
appointment when I change the timezone on my laptop or PDA. When I am in
Toronto and plan an 8am meeting in London, I don't want that entry to change
when I change timezones. I am wondering how I can prevent or bypass this
very unhelpful feature?

When you create the meeting, enter its time as it would be in the current
time zone. When you change time zones, the meeting should still be correct.

use dual time zones in outlook instead of change the computer's TZ.
