One thing about a block of copper, it doesn't leak.

I recall some early horseless carriages wouldn't run well! One thing
about a nag, they don't get flat tires.

Yep. They're fucking great as long as they work. I recall some
early sony heatpipes had leaks or something. It was ugly

Yair, it is just so heavy it rips the cpu and socket right out of the
motherboard.

They were heavy, but about the same as some of the gigantic heatpipe
stuff that's the rage today.

yeah, but i think someone did the math and we'd be up to our ears in
horseshit if we all used horses

Flat tires don't destroy your engine either.
