I have two (a dual 500 G4 tower and an iBook)... unless you count the Mac Classic in the garage. Of course, I can't even count the total number of Macs I've had since my late arrival to the Mac scene in 1985.

I suspect that CNN tracks unique votes not by browser type, but rather by the "CNNid" cookie that you are given the first time you visit CNN.com. So I voted a few times from Safari, deleting the cookie each time. Of course, they could also limit to one vote per IP address, but that would only...

CNN has a poll -- Mac vs. PC. Place your vote now! The poll is in the lower-right corner of the front page.

Although I have not experienced the extreme problems that Ed has, I cannot count the number of zip disks that have died on me, their final breath always being the "click of death". I have an internal zip drive in my G4 Tower (Graphite), but I have only used it a few times the past year. But...

The Apple Store (http://store.apple.com) is currently being updated. The message says that it will be back online within the hour.

According to a report at Think Secret (http://www.thinksecret.com) Jaguar is already shipping to resellers. Apparently (although not specifically stated in the report) at least some have already received the shipments. It is stated that the OS X 10.2 package includes two install CDs and the...
