I like permanent things. My wallet is made of aluminium and I prefer longer lasting hardcover books. All my digital assets feel so feeble compared to this.

The point aside though, beware of the aluminum things! They tend to make permanent black scratches on other aluminum things and also on themselves; MacBooks, iPads, cameras, external batteries... I once borrowed a small Sony camera from a friend for my trip, carried it in a bag during the time, and ended up buying it from him because the damage was just too severe. It seems every digital device these days is made of aluminum, so to prevent them from touching each other I started to put some in a plastic bag, in my usual bag. Sometimes I miss the old days of plastic devices.

Ha, that's sorta kinda relief! ;D But an iPhone (or HTC, or metalic Samsung) would! These days smartphones are incredibly thin, sometimes it makes me forget things you know...
