More to the point here, Date() returns a string the way you are using
it, not a date object. If you want a date object to compare, use the
"new" keyword. (Date objects can be directly compared with >, < and =,
since they have a single scalar data member and collapse to a
milliseconds-after-epoch value on comparison.)
