Hi chet25,
The short answer to your question is "yes". When they say "90 days",
they mean it literally. You may be in the U.S. for 90 days, that
includes the day you arrive and the day you depart.
"When you enter the United States, you will be provided with Form
I-94W Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival-Departure Record (if you didn't
receive one from the airline), which is a small green card that will
be stapled to your passport. It will be stamped with that day's date
and will show your permission to be in the United States for 90 days
from that date onward and is the official record of your authorized
length of stay (meaning you can stay in the U.S. until the date on
the card). You cannot be present in the U.S. for any part of the 91st
day.
If you arrive at the Port of Entry on July 1 2005, you will have to
leave the U.S. on or before September 28, 2005.
"Passport Validity: If traveling under the Visa Waiver Program, the
passport must be valid for at least 90 days from the date on which the
holder enters the United States. If not, the holder will be admitted
until the expiration date on the passport."

I hope I've been able to clear that up for you. If you have any
questions, please post a clarification request *before* closing/rating
my answer and I'll be happy to reply.
Thank you,
