<Sniff> is it true that with my Thinkpad R50e 1834NV1 Celeron M 1.40GHz,
my ears will never depart the fan for more than 90 seconds, during its
54-62 degree temperature cycling?

If I go to the IBM warranty repair place, what can I say? "Its just
not fair to force one to listen to the fan even if the CPU is idle"?

http://www.funkyputer.com/viewitem.php?id=1525 says "this particular
model is ultra quiet (the fan hardly came on in our test)". I even
turned wireless off in BIOS. Is it just me?
