the sound of silence

This goes nicely with Betty's No Complaining Thursdays (although I have been complaining today). I just installed my new laptop fan! It's so nice and quiet! It just switched on with a barely perceptible whirr, instead of the grinding whine of a sick aeroplane trying to take off. Why did I not do this sooner??
Of course, my advisor told me today to order a new laptop for lab, but that's hardly a complaint.
