I did my last estimated guess for when the counter would reach its goal just before I went to bed at 2:30am. Since ETA was 5:30am and I wasn't willing to stay up or get up early to watch it live, I sort of TiVoed it using a screen capture video app.

Why did it quit early? Was the count up counter not really accurate? Or was it just simply human error? I wonder if Milo's grandson who works for iTunes can find out for us.Also, I'll have a detailed description of my effort in predicting this outcome posted soon.
