Cheers, Abstract (et al)...
Regarding Flowbee's post:
Er, yeah...that's what I was saying (?). Clearly I made a hash of saying it, though (no change there...).
Db's are logarithmic,* so 70 decibels is pretty-bleedin' loud. I've never heard a wind-tunnel G4 Working Overtime (in the full XTC sense of that expression), so I have no idea whether it managed to crank out that kind of volume. It just seems unlikely, so I was suggesting that Apple'd used some other way of assessing the noise. Sorry if this wasn't clear.
Oh, and as a final observation...
Now, being British, I'm generally not in favour of creeping to the French...but perhaps we all need to go grovelling to MacBidioulle at the earliest opportunity?
Then maybe they'll tell us how they got that inside track r.e. the product and the stats.
Tsch, and there was me thinking French Intelligence was something of an oxymoron...

* Edit: BOLLOCKS...by the time I posted this first time, half the world had got there before me. What's the bleedin' point of doing a physics degree if the one time you get to swank around about it, every other bugger jumps in first, eh? I have so little in life, how *could* you all take even that away from me...
