Control-Alt-Recycle

Their suggestions include: upgrade instead of replacing, go for LCD monitors instead of CRTs and, if replacing, reuse the old one as an MP3 server on your home network."

    I noticed from reading the Article that every manufacturer listed has a recycling program in Japan, but the U.S. we would just rather toss in a dump somewhere.

    How typical.

    No wonder most of the world can't stand us.
