RE: *USA Time

Sounds like you were a year early. According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century the 19th Century ended 12/31/1900. It
follows then that 20th Century ended 12/31/2000, making 1/1/2001 the first
day of the current century. Of course, by definition, a century may be any
100-year time period. One of those will be ending in a few minutes, Eastern
US time. But if you live by the Gregorian calendar (and most of us do) then
our century is in its 11th year, not its 12th.

And we celebrated the start of the century on 1/1/2000

Midnight is 00:00:00, on the 3rd there is only one midnight and it is

the

first instance of time on that day.

To prove this we celebrate new years day at 00:00:00 (the countdown

to

midnight) and not 00:00:01

I have never understood if "midnight on the 3rd" means the beginning

of

the 3rd or the end of the 3rd, or both, depending on context.
