Well, a G5 will be slower here, but it isn't a fair test -all those 
ventilation holes will increase wind resistance and slow its fall :-))

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?

Think of a golfball 

True, but a golf ball has "dimples" as opposed to holes, not the same 
thing at all.

 It's an even bigger shame not to be able to handle the heat in the 
 kitchen. The admins do an admirable and largely thankless job. This 
 is a great list and I like the focus, and I consider that focus to be 
 a result of the admin's thoughtful action. I am grateful.
