there is a subtlety with finding based on mtime, atime or ctime
that's worth knowing.  for all of these, the days value means 
(and i'll just use one example):

  -mtime 3              # between 3 and 4 days ago
  -mtime +3             # more than 4 days ago
  -mtime -3             # less than 3 days ago

so, using a timeline, we have


 |--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|- .. going back in time
now       1        2        3        4        5

<----------- -3 -----------><-- 3 -->< ------ +3 -------- ...

  so those three possibilities cover all possible times nicely.

in addition, if you're anal retentive, you can use the more
refined options -mmin, -amin, -cmin which let you select based
on times to the minute.
