iPlugs: 'Wind tunnel' G4 hearing protection?
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
October 4th 2002
Here's a good natured poke at the noise level created by Apple's latest pro machines
The mavens of digital dish at MacEdition have posted a new iteration of their Parting
Shot cartoon series and the receiving end of this week's barb are Apple's new G4
PowerMacs. Here's a quotation of the text from the "advertisement" (i.e. cartoon):
iPlugs
Dual G4 Processor Hearing Protection
� Dual plug design fits tightly in each ear.
� Eliminates up to 90% of power supply fan whine.
� Returns ambient room noise to normal.
� Helps Apple future viability since cheap sub $1.00 fans in $3,299 systems make
fiscal sense.
� Compatible with OSX. Essential for OS9 users.
This spoof, like the new G4, is a real "howler" (sorry, couldn't resist).
Editor's note: Do you have a new "wind tunnel" PowerMac? Share your impressions of
these units auditory offensiveness (as applicable). If you're feeling ambitious,
provide a link to a recording of your PowerMac's "thunder."
