How long should We keep our computer?


Here's a good discussion about the bioethics of deciding on giving old computers the 'chop'. It ain't as easy as all that.. like so many greenhouse decisions!

From George, gh2008@bigpond.com. Your article bout computers was interesting, and worth some thought. My computer is now pushing on towards five years of service and what it really needs is a RAM upgrade, but it is otherwise operating as it has always done. It had insufficient RAM to run Xp in the first place. A new monitor would be nice to clear the desk clutter, but it will have to wait. The IT junk pile is a big problem that the world has to deal with now, not in ten years time.
