[Ti] 1.33 GHz fan observation. WAS: [Ti] New 1.5ghz Powerbook up and running

[John Griffin]

OK, now that I have run Temperature Monitor for about an hour, I find that
after a rather large download the temperature stays at around 105° to 107°F.
However, even with my ear resting on the top, I can't hear any sign of a fan
in operation. Also the case top and bottom feel quite cool to the touch. Not
bad at all! Even with my hearing handicap, I could hear the fan on my 1ghz
Titanium Powerbook kick in fairly frequently.

Now here is another thing I have noticed; and I would like to hear from
other 800FW Powerbook owners about this. I have found that the best thing to
do is to boot normally (lid down as I have an external monitor and
keyboard), then raise the lid once I have reached the login window. Why,
because I get a much better airport reception this way. At least 10% better.

Anybody else find this to be the case?
