Nice to meet you, Ali. Do you mind if I take your reply/post point by point? 1) Platinum hasn't changed the world of electronics that much, frankly. True, the only truly efficient solar collector is one constructed with platinum in the cells. And there isn't enough platinum above ground OR UNDERGROUND to make cause the world to truly "switch to solar." Nice Try, tho'... Still leaves coins, jewellery, and catalytic converters. Speaking of catalytic converters, sure they switch between plat and pal depending upon both price and availability. Your point was...? 2) Major shift to platinum in batteries? You are making me politely cough, I'm trying hard not to laugh outloud! I believe if you check your "sources again, the excitement surrounds SILVER in batteries more than they are platinum. Speaking of silver, even it is becoming more passe'. You see, my girl works for a US subsidiary of a Korean semi-conductor mfgr. And she told me 5 months ago that HER firm had perfected the replacement of silver with even cheaper nickel. Your point was...? 3) U state: Platinum more cost effecient in computers in the last 5 years than gold flash. Where did you get your batteries for your calculator??? I'd sure like to see your sources on this one! As far as to "how many computers were built in the last 5 years?" Too damn many! And the most of them won't still be working in about 80 days now, frankly.<vbg> 4) I didn't say platinum in "sand" as you claim (before you proceeded to insult me by comparing me to the desert dirts scam stories.) GPGI & Naxos bull-puckey shuck and jive sand desert dirts I assume are the scams to wit you are referring. I agree, they are scams and were from the git-go. AND THAT IS MY OPINION and FIRM BELIEF TO THIS DAY!!!! I SAID SORT BLACKSANDS FOR PLATINUM.* AS IN BLACK SANDS THAT ARE A BY-PRODUCT OF GOLD PROSPECTING, pal.* Get a grip, there, ok? But thanks for the second laff. It is hard to get me to laff twice in the same reply, but you managed to do so, so CONGRATULATIONS! Alis, The only machine I want sorting "desert sands" as you call them, like the kind that that stick to the bottom of my boots and fill up the cuffs of my Levi's when I come back to my mountain retreat from visiting the valley floor at the Valentines, is my Rainbow vacuum cleaner/sorter. AND, NO, I don't have a financial interest in their product either. But, I'll demonstrate my blacksands, platinum separator any day of the frigging week. You see, out in this country, platinum has an iron coating and is easily classified with this machine. When do you want to schedule a "skeptics appointment?" While I've heard a lot of people brag about a magnetic separator, bragging and actually having one that works on BLACKSANDS are two entirely separate matters. Your turn, I believe.
