upgrade to new MobilMe--calendar shifted times 3 hrs earlier

This morning I upgraded to the new MobileMe calendar. Both my computers now show all the events as occurring 3 hours earlier. The odd thing is that when I click on the event to open details, the times listed are correct. I haven't yet synched my iPhone calendar because I'm afraid that will get messed up.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

From me again. A few hours later and now when I open the event the times there are also shifted to 3 hrs earlier than they should be.

Me again. I just called the Apple help line and got very good advice (less than a 5 min wait) that worked. After signing into me.com I went to my name at the upper right > Account > Personal Info. There it was apparent that I was set for California time (I'm on the east coast). It's funny that I got switched to CA and that it's in such an obscure place and separate from my computer Date & Time Preferences, but at least it worked.

I first went to the me.com settings to make sure I had Time Zone preferences clicked and turns out I did, so that wasn't the problem.

All my replies here were additional comments from me. I did get help from the Apple help line as I describe in my 2nd comment.
