Well, considering the temp that my 2400 reaches sometimes, I wouldn't doubt it! Seriously, however, FAA regulations specifically prohibit bringing (or shipping) HazMat via Airplanes, especially passenger planes. This isn't just flammable or explosive materials, either. Think back to the oxygen containers that were inappropriately shipped on the ValuJet plane that crashed into the Everglades. Maybe the Fuel Cells have a small enough quantity of material that it would be allowed. (Kind of like Butane lighters...) Obviously, I'm not certain, but I always wonder about it when I see these articles on Laptop Fuel Cells. Tom ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
