<Oh man, that was really dumb of me... you are absolutely right. OK, so
the real question is, without the use of supposedly simple acronyms, we
know it is going to be available at midnight somewhere tonight, meaning
as soon as it becomes 12:01 AM September 30th...but will it not start
until it is midnight on the Eastern part of our country, or...???>
I truly don't know. The whole 'what day is it at midnight' question is
analagous to the 'when did the millenium/21st century begin' question.
Both sides have their valid arguments. For the former, I wish these
timetables would use 12:01am, so that there is no doubt what day is in
question. As for the latter, I don't think anyone can argue that a
helluva lot more people were partying (and a lot harder) at 12:01am
1/1/00 than at 12:01am 1/1/01.
