Aluminium channels are multi functional raw materials. They are growing immensely in popularity due to their properties that no other metals can match. Aluminium is a light weight yet durable material. It is less prone to corrosion as compared to other metals, due to their partially inert nature to the atmosphere and surroundings. Once it forms a layer of aluminium oxide on its surface by combining with oxygen from the atmosphere, it prevents the underlying layers from coming in contact with the gases or moisture present in the atmosphere. It is also highly resistant to almost all sorts of chemical attack.

The cellphone has become my primary means of communication. We don't even have a land line phone anymore; my wife and I have our own separate numbers, so no one has to worry about taking or misplacing messages. The funny thing is, we hardly ever use our phones for talking. I personally hate talking on the phone for more than a few minutes and will do whatever I can to get off as quickly as possible. No, for me and my wife, and for most of my friends, the cellphone is for sending email and text messages. One of my friends prided herself on sending over 1000 messages in a week. I really didn't think that was any big deal though, and at one point, the list of text messages from both my wife's and my phone was almost the size of a short novel.This puts a lot of wear and tear on the phone's rubber keypad, and I've had a couple of phones where the numbers and letters have actually started to wear off. It looked pretty tacky, with the back lighting shining up through the worn gaps in the keys. Not only that, but it actually started getting rough, like chipped paint. It looked bad and felt worse. I wasn't ready to replace the phone and didn't think I was qualified for a...more
