Not true. Holes and rough surfaces can keep the air stream around a properly
designed
object and therefore stabilize it, which in turn can make it faster. Think
of a golfball or those
strange looking poles and ledges on some airplane wings.
But anyway - who sayed that the Mac was a G5? Do you probably want to start
a platform war
by indicating that Macs are an aerodynamically catastrophe?
