One of the ways to extend the life of the computer, and get more ecological advantage, would be to have the computer manufactuer's set up a program where the used/slower machines could be turned in and shipped to lesser developed countries.
Of course, everyone would have to be assured that the hard drives would be completely erased before forwarding them.
At least then the computers would go thru 2 life cycles, rather than the current system.
I have an old P3 laptop w/ ME and it just sits in the closet, unused. I had planned to upgrade it to XP Home and give it to my cousins daughter, but they got her a new one for Xmas so that was out.
Guess for now, it will stay in the closet til someone gets a real renewable system set up.
