Cindy, You're forgetting that you're on the west coast. For the east coast people to get the same performance that you get after midnight, they have to do it after 3:00 a.m. because when it's midnight EST many of the CST, MST, and PST members are still on the internet and accessing Bookshare since it's only 9:00 p.m. PST, 10:00 MST, and 11:00 CST. Since many of the kids on the west coast are still up, the internet is still a bit busy in general at 12:00 a.m. EST. That's why I didn't mention after midnight, because I don't know which time zone Ernie's in.
