The guy with a Mac who plopped down next to me after coming in late to International Studies: Foundations quickly minimized his notes and began looking at a Web site that was summarizing the events of the MacWorld 2008 Expo in real time. A conditional fan of Macs myself, I was somewhat amazed that someone who drools over the latest technology even more than I do was sitting in the seat next to me.

Thoughtful people will recycle an old computer instead of buying yet another new machine, which will just go on to pollute the water in Africa.

50 years from now, the Ipod will be regarded as one of the greatest environmental tragedies of all time.

Anonymous,

How am I supposed to recycle a computer and have it work as well as a new one would?

Unfortunately, these machines are designed to wear out. Virtually nothing on these machines works worth anything 5 years after purchase. Even the casing on the outside if flimsy, gets dirty and gross, get cracks. etc.
