[Ti] Smelly 17" PowerBooks?

[Jason Tertadian]

I prefer the lovely bouquet of powered-up iMacs.  Mmmm...there's 
nothing like the smell of convection-cooled electronics in the morning. 
  When we got a bunch of the RevB iMacs at my old job all the PC guys in 
our department thought the units were overheating from the slightly 
burned smell.  It makes me chuckle still...
