	I swapped my Panaflo
	For a Radio Shack
	And I'm happy as can be
	That the noise from my Mac
	Is now a mere 35 db!

It's absolutely great to be rid of the noise!  Now I can hear my *quiet*
Jasmine.  But I'm used to that at work and I like to know what my computer
is doing.  I do however, look back and wonder if I wasn't too hasty.  I'm
not concerned that it's only 87% of the original airflow since I don't
expect to fill the slots.  But, has anyone compared the MTBF?  The $14.95
price tag worries me.  Does Apple use the Panaflo because it really needs
31CFM or is it a more reliable motor?  Does the Mac automatically shut off
if the fan dies or if the chassis overheats?
