I don't think a Mac II fan will fit in a X61s, let alone a netbook.
(Any chance we can keep Apple vs. Any Other Machine arguments off this list?
Especially the gratuitous ones? They are almost always irrelevant,
unnecessarily acerbic, and completely devoid of any value whatsoever.)

Well, you get what you pay for, as they say. I have a Macintosh IIsi
running as a little server 24/7/356, and the case fan is still as quiet as
twenty years ago. I guess Apple paid more than ten cents for it then.
