This one got an airing before (... The Fall?), and promptly polarized itself into the Greens, the Pale Heliotropes and the Browns.

Every functional Mac that I own (30+) is permanently connected to the mains to get its battery-sparing dribble. Those that are in use full-time (~5) are always running, even if they are often sleeping. Only the hulks, corpses and maybe somedays in the garage are not powered at all. The 30-odd Macs in my wife's and my studies take enough edge off the cold to make all-night vigils at this time of year just tolerable.
