Title: Disposable computer in the future.
Post by: asian1 on October 28, 2003, 04:02:30 PM: Hello
Recently Plantic (OZ) had announced disposable
plastic. To destroy the plastic, just pour water.
Similar disposable metal was invented several
year ago. Is it possible to create 100% water
disposable PC in the future?

the product does not have a pleasant taste but could be used for example in pet food where the dog eats the food and then eats the bowl its served in.

:lol: something about that makes me laugh, sorry.

Hmm, I suppose the question has to be, why would you want to? I can't think of any useful application. Small devices used for security etc? It would do no good if all you needed to shoplift was a bit of water. And imagine in the office environment - you wouldn't get coffee rings, you'd have coffee-oops-my-computer's-not-there-anymores ;-)

Interesting all the same though, a degradable plastic alternative, could be useful for some packaging applications I suppose.

Sounds like deja vu to me... ;-D

No need to harm your fists after beating the blinking stuff-which-has-just-crashed-because-norton-antivirus-thought-windoze-WAS-the-virus -just put it under the shower! ;-D

A new slogan: PeeCees - USER friendly!

Just don't ask me to buy a disposable Amiga! :-)
