A Different Take On PC Manus' 'Recycling' Schemes

Posted by timothy on from the please-toss-your-obsolete-opteron-my-way dept.

Timex writes "Linux Devices is reporting that the COO of Linux startup Symbio Technologies, Roger Del Russo, claims that the recycling programs of Dell and HP are nothing more than a means of getting older systems out of use, to be replaced by newer systems. Mr Del Russo then makes the case for putting the older systems to good use as thin clients, using the Linux Terminal Server Project."

    This is just an advertisement for the guy's company. There probably is some truth to the recycling bit, but if I wanted to view an advertisement I'd watch network television. Way to go, timothy. You are the ultimate tool.

    0$ cost???

    I take it that YOUR time and the time of others is worth $0....

    I also can see you place a $0 value on the parts used, the space used, and have declined to pay for the linux license....I hope you do enough free things to cause yourself a long term of unemployment there...

    (free, ya right, tell that to a professional coder that isnt being paid for his work, while he is on wellfare)
