Yes I have a feeling that spymac did this stunt just to be able to say "Hey we got HALF A MILLION visitors each day" to their advertisers. I asked for their rates and this is what I got:

[quote] JLL: in the South, 2 inches of snow closes school for days! <hr></blockquote>
Damn, why isn´t tha so here in Finland. School would be closed every other day :cool: , well not really.
I once heard this story about russia where schools were closed down because it was too cold (-50 celcius), boys were really happy that they didn´t have to go to school and went outside to play hockey. I found it a bit amusing.
I really only wanted to contribute to Frans prediction about postcount = mhz .
Right now, the only snow I see on the ground is the 5+ inches left on the pile of firewood. I think its the only snow left in Southern NH. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

<strong>
Remember we are from scandinavia. Here it is not uncommon with 6 feet of snow (not on the same day though)</strong><hr></blockquote>
Woah!! :eek: I'd go crazy with all that snow. I hate snow. This is the first time I'm actually praying for it.
<strong>
7 inches of snow and school closes?? Wow.</strong><hr></blockquote>
7 in = 17.5 cm
Did you notice what 10 cm did in Athens (uh, the one not in Georgia) the other day?
At least it's not Buffalo, NY. I noticed that they got something like 24 inches in 24 hours. What's cool is, that's not even close to their record.
I'll just be happy with the blizzard of gadgets Steve throws at us. Or else I'm jumping over to the <a href="http://forums.appleinsider.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000661"; target="_blank">Boo Steve and the Segway He Rode On thread.</a> One or the other.

Gotta love N'awlins.
But I'm homeschooled so I think I could manage slipping away to watch some of the expo.
<strong>Post count ++, eh EmAn?
Well sorta I guess. What I said was "it's been almost a half hour and no new posts", but then after I posted that I saw the 2 new ones above mine.
BWWWHAHAHAHAHA

minimum G4 1200Mhz. Let superstition and other craziness rule supreme.
But you're right. I still predict that the speed of the new Macs will be the number of posts in this thread when the keynote starts.
<strong>Well, Future Weather effects the ability of many to see Future Hardware tomorrow.
</strong><hr></blockquote>
Exactly. Lots of snow --> i see keynote. Not much snow --> I miss keynote.

they're usin' it.. making it real cool!!!!!<hr></blockquote>
Hope AI's mail server is fixed soon.
<strong>Yes this thread is something. Perhaps already the longest in AI history and then in so few days.
BUT the <a href="http://forums.appleinsider.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000509&p="; target="_blank">OH GOD!!!!! [iWalk]</a> takes the prize for me.

But the best thread ever (not the longest, but best) was one entiteld (best memory-based guess):
Why did Bill Gates visit Steve Jobs today at or around 1:00 pm?
With the first reply being:
For a quickie?
Priceless.
Someone declared it "Post of the year" and I have to agree.
Untill this insanely large thread gets a super-witty response like that, it won't come close, in my eyes, to being truly great.
