I don't know if this has been pointed out before, but eBay was only aquired by Paypal in October 2002, so as Priscellie points out in every post (I only noticed the sig, last week. Cool!!!), the earliest PG can be take place is July 2003.
Also, as previously shown, The latest Death Masks could have taken place was Feb. 2001. (TWA stopped flying in Dec. 2001)
Since (according to the second post in this thread) DM takes place 3 years before PG, we have seem to have two choices:
DM - Feb. 2000, PG - July 2003
DM - Feb. 2001, PG - July 2004

Great detective work, Hart! However, I think those factors--especially the TWA thing--are likely slipups on Jim's part rather than indicators of the time. Having DM take place in 2000 or 2001 would mean that SF took place in 1997 or 1998, and therefore that Harry was born around 1972, a full two years before a young David Copperfield adopted that stage name. On the other hand, the airport security in DM does feel pre-9/11. Hmm.

Poor Jim we pressure him to write faster then pick apart at the continuality.

Heh.
When I first thought about the eBay thing, I was sure this was a mistake (I also caught the TWA thing while re-reading DM, but it was posted here already) .
Maybe in in Dresden's world TWA was more successful? Maybe this is a hint that the CEO of TWA is magically talented (Maybe he's even the Gatekeeper/Cowl) ;D ;D ;D
Yeah. It's probably a slipup.
