That poem is called High Flight and is by Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee, No 412 squadron, RCAF - Killed 11 December 1941

High Flight, with FAA Supplement Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth(1), And danced(2) the skies on laughter silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed(3) and joined the tumbl…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhA

LOL. Hadn't seen that part.

can't wait to fly to France. The 7 hour flight is worth it. Can't wait to unpack my PB12 and code while flying. IT'll feel boring after 15 minutes and I'll move on and ... have sex…

^ Cramped, uncomfortable and not half as much fun as you might imagine.

That is such an awesome poem. My experience has only been to fly in a private plan.

I can't wait to buy a new iMAC 20" 2Ghz, but has Apple solved the fan noise that plagued the Rev A models? Please let me know you experiences, Jan Boersma

Seriously, I have heard people mention this, but I use a RevA 1.6ghz 17" at work, (I am using it right now), and no matter how hard I thrash it it has NEVER EVER made the slightest…

I'm using a 1.8Ghz iMac at work with 1 GB of RAM and for normal, non-taxing purposes - web surfing, writing, etc. - it's utterly silent. But when I play Snood (probably the least-t…

I don't want to go so far as to say the fan noise problems have been fixed, but the difference between my Rev.A 17" and my new Rev.B 20" is astounding. The 17" emitted a terrible …

Mine sounds like a leafblower, even on automatic. I guess mine is faulty and a rev.a board. I'm not sure though. I don't know if they have fixed it on the newer iMac's.

I don't have an older rev A to compare it to but my 20" rev B seems pretty darn quiet. Just sitting in front of it you can hear the "whoosh" of a fan but from 5" away, you can't t…

Screamingfit, what about when you do processor-intensive stuff? Any noticeable ramp-up in fan speed?

I'd like to hear more from Rev. B owners as well.... I'd be more likely to consider an iMac if it were very quiet.
