College To Save Money By Switching Email Font
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has come up with an unusual way of saving money: changing their email font. The school expects to use 30% less ink by switching from Arial to Century Gothic. From the article: "Diane Blohowiak is the school's director of computing. She says the new font uses about 30 percent less ink than the previous one. That could add up to real savings, since the cost of printer ink works out to about $10,000 per gallon. Blohowiak says the decision is part of the school's five-year plan to go green. She tells Wisconsin Public Radio it's great that a change that's eco-friendly also saves money."
Ever hear of a tablet computer? I can't imagine they cost more than a printer, paper, and toner that you would use over the lifetime of the tablet. Wait another month or so and get a iPad and call it done for under $500.
