Not true. Holes and rough surfaces can keep the air stream around a properly designed 
object and therefore stabilize it, which in turn can make it faster. Think of a golfball or those 
strange looking poles and ledges on some airplane wings.

But anyway - who sayed that the Mac was a G5? Do you probably want to start a platform war 
by indicating that Macs are an aerodynamically catastrophe?
