comb: what were the circumstances of your ipaq meltdown? One would think it would be covered under warranty, no? Did you leave it out in the hot Tampa sun, for instance? thanks in advance, Gary

Combjelly, Re: "But LiIon Polymers have a high enough power density that they are dangerous. Sometimes they just decide that they want to melt, burn, explode etc. My iPaq just did that (in this case melt), and boy am I bummed. I will now have to go through a complete Linux install again..." Interesting. I have never heard of a Li Ion battery ever doing that. But in any case, we were discussing how future processors might turn out working in mobile envelopes. I believe that Banias couldn't come at a sooner time, but you were skepticle. I guess we'll see, eventually. wbmw
