this is no issue for ppc-laptop, at least on my ibook the fan sleep 
almost ever... all the heat is dissipated through the bottom surface. 
the only noise is the hd spin

btw consider that new apple laptops dont have a card with line input or 
so, only a headphone out, and you'll be obligated to buy some sort of 
audio usb/firewire device. i've got an imic, but it dont work with jack 
for format issues, i dunno what.. maybe bit packaging, and the plug 
layer of alsa dont help

and yes, maaaaaaaaany audio tools are still little-endian-only-
compliant

when that'll change? this is UNIX, we can rack-mount tens of sparc 
doing massive number crunching ;)
