Momentus occasion ladies and gentlemen [*insert George Clooney sized stage pause*]. For the first time, tonight, my iBook’s fan went on. Three months on, and what did it take for my Mac to make a sound: OS X, running Mail, Safari (browsing Google Maps / eBay / Flickr / Random Googles – in tabs), iTunes (streaming to the AirPort Express – Garbage “Can’t Cry These Tears”), iChat-ing, Virtual PC running both Windows 98 (copying files from CD) and Windows XP Pro Installer, and I just noticed I’m running on “Better Performance” with an external USB Hard Disk attached and spinning.

Well, pretty amazing feat; our Acer (same age give or take a month) starts to panic its arse off if you so much as open two windows. I’m running 3 operating systems and the fan just went off again, oh well at least I know it works… Why do computers make noise at all, I really don’t understand how you can use the internet with a headache.
