I put the MBP away in its neoprene sleeve to charge the battery while I had a cup of tea. Came back into the bedroom 40 minutes later & I could hear a hissing sound.
The fan had ramped up to over 7200 rpm to deal with Enclosure base temperatures of up to 43℃.
It’s cooled down now, the fan speed is under 1500 rpm & temperatures are much lower.
@streakmachine Battery (beta) setting on mine says 89% capacity but not yet affecting performance. Still quite happy with mine.
Revising the music on a USB drive for my long Saturday trip, I discoverd a number of repeated tracks. I had wondered why one particular album of 14 tracks was repeat playing when that feature was turned off. It had both mp3 & aac formatted files, the reason being that I’d burned some mp3 CDs and had to use iTunes to convert them from the original aac.
The exporting from iTines to the USB drive was done with an app called ITuneMyWalkman or ITMW, it's an old thing that predates iPhones and still works quite happily under High Sierra.
My neice from Perth (the other side of Oz) visited Mum in hospital & told me via phone call that Mum was running out of clean clothes. I decided the easiest way to deal with it was a flying visit tonight & returne them cleaned tomorrow. It’s a drive of around 30 minutes each way, mostly on freeways, so that’s doable.
@streakmachine Why use an adaptor? The first MacBook Airs used a PATA connection to a 64 GiB SSD. Should be ppossible to find an 80 or 120 GiB PATA SSD.

In Washington D.C., helicopters are often used to monitor the
traffic conditions. Frequently jammed is the Francis Scott Key
bridge, named after the man who wrote the national anthem.
The bridge's traffic problem is notorious; among some, it's known as the Car Strangled Spanner.
@streakmachine Great news. Which one is it? The one I wass given was the last one produced in 2005, with the 1.5 GHz processor.

@streakmachine There is no tomorrow. It never comes. Every time I think tomorrow has arrived, there’s another on the horizon.
@sumudu All OK now, after selecting "allow browse into any URL" in the whitelist preference, I can get it working. No need for repeatred sigh-ins.
