Thank you for this. It is nice to see the G5 (and one of the humbler versions of it at that) get some love on here. I like mine.

What I want to know, though, is what machine you are cooling with that fan on the sofa!

I like your table idea! You must have an interesting life to find bits of supersonic fighter jets falling out of the sky onto your sofa.
