I'm really curious to see how this turns out, though my money is on you making something that isn't... a laptop.

Aluminum is conductive and therefore transfers heat. Leather is the opposite. I would say get a thin aluminum one.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I HATE YOU AMERICAN SHITBAGS!
It's spelled Aluminium!

The British were imperialistic weaklings back then! Accept how Combined France, Italy, Switzerland, Russia, Spain, Liechtenstein, Belgium, Russia, China, Laos, Vietnam, Luxembourg, Austria etc. will pwn you into submission!

So you're saying that you can't win unless you and all your friends gang up on us?

Sounds like you got even weaker since then!

Only real problem with that is they only sell laptops with Vista anymore. Luckily I stashed away a few XPCDs. Or I could wait until W7 comes out.


Eheh, FYI: I couldn't install WinXP onto one of my laptops at all. [It's a HP 550] I've tried to install an SP3 integrated WinXP onto it...no luck.
So, I called the shop, and they told me, that it's only working with Vista, because some important "new" drivers are missing from the SP3 XP install even.
Incredible... ::)

Hm... Couldn't you find some way to use one of those UPS thingies? They're pretty big, but you might be able to find one that's pretty small, albeit with limited battery life.
