I can't kill this thing - I've had this old pilot for so many years i can hardly recall - maybe 7? at least. I use it constantly. It's reliable. It holds my data. It never breaks down. It doesn't have an attitude problem. The siren lure of colour displays and playing games on a pda is screaming to me. But I try as I might, I can't justify buying a new pda when this damned pilot won't die and is so freaking usable. I drop it, it doesn't even blink. HELP ME! Must kill... But I'm a tree-hugging vegetarian so I need a hit man, uh person, to take care of it for me. DAMMIT, I cannot take a life. How many years must I wait before I can buy a new pda....
Interesting - I'm thinking about this chemical rxn also. On first glance my gut reaction was that this is an exothermic process [i tend to thing of breaking bonds as endothermic and creating bonds as exo]. I'm thinking, hmmmm, put some pure aluminum powder into a glass of purified water and you SHOULD get heat, H2 and the aluminum oxide as a by-product.
Someone correct me but this appears to be exo and sounds like a pretty cool idea to me
