The Communications Decency Act has been struck down!

Note:I'm going to be away on vacation. While I will have my trusty Newton 2000 with me and the ability to dial in, I don't plan on editing this page on the road. So, enjoy the 4th and see you back here on or around the 7th.

An unofficial but excellent web site about the band James.

Today I found a link asking me to "Vote For Your Favorite Mac News Site!" So I did. But in the process of looking at all the nominees, I found a few places I rather like.

First, is Version Tracker which simply keeps track of what new Mac software has been released. Very nice if you, like me, want to stay current on all the neat gizmos you've got installed.

Next is Extreme Mac which lists new software releases and top stories. Simple and to the point.

Finally MacNN Main News Page is also nice but provides a bit too much graphic headers at the top. The news part is too far down but it's well laid out. If only I could nix the top of the page.

Ultimately, I still prefer (and voted for) MacCentral's site which is the simplest yet most useful.
