That being said, I did find it a bit strange that they booted a 1K and not someone else. But whatever.
I am assuming you meant the "new and improved" 30-minute window. But I digress...

How much before that did you clear? That day? 100-hours before? At 31 minutes before?

I do however agree that it is strange that a 1K was booted. Perhaps you were the last upgrade granted?
