None of the G3 iMacs, except the first ones, have a fan.

Not an issue, not a concern. I have had a 7200rpm, 8mb cache, 120GB 
drive in my G3 slot-loading iMac for about a year with zero problems 
and great speed. Not the easiest thing in the world to install, mind 
you, but worth doing.

Karen Hughes, the president's chief spokesperson, publicly equates 
pro-choice with pro-terrorist, and claims she is "troubled" by Kerry's 
protests over Vietnam but untroubled by George Bush's desertion and 
avoidance of duty.
