AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights an interesting Microsoft add-in that has not been tested with Office 2007. While its appeal in the academic world is questioned, particularly for high school students who typically write short essays and lab reports, it may find more relevance at the university level where LaTeX is commonly used for complex documents. The add-in is noted for its user-friendly interface and aesthetic design, suggesting it could enhance user experience despite its limited application in certain educational contexts.

Thread 'Cooling a processor chip'

Would that be the same sort of idea that was used in 'Heat Pipes' where water evaporated at the processor end and liquid water was returned from the cool end and back along a wick. At the extreme high power end, Vapour Phase Cooling has been used in multi-kW RF transmitters where (pure) water was pumped to the Anode / or alternative Collector and...
