I noticed when I opened up my Cube, also a rather old one, that the plug
on the fan is symmetric. Now, it seems to me, that if the motor for the
fan is electric (which I believe it is), then one could just reverse the
polarity on the plug to the fan, and it would blow the other way!

Mine sucks air in the back of the Cube, and blows air out the front. It
didn't come that way from NeXT. Also, it is no great task to cut a piece
of filter from an a/c unit or such, and tape it in front of the fan.

If I'm a total moron, please keep it to yourself. I would like to remain
ignorant of the fact.
