I think the article and author are a bit out there to say the least.
Calculating the "energy consumption of all the insects and all the birds on the Earth"
What is that - how do you come up with those numbers and using what scale?
I think the answer to your question could be connected to the other posts regarding language and culture.
Could culture and language restrict thinking?

There is - it's called the ICC
When you buy a monitor the disk that comes with it has the ICC profile that you are supposed to load onto your machine. This is something that in reality only printers and designers do. The Mac has ColorSync built into every OS.
This is a terminal problem with the Web creators and the printers. If a designer picks a colour and it is only applicable to one form of transmitting that colour(ie ink on paper, web page using video monitor, plastic product colour...) then the other means of displaying it have to match. Trying to match a colour on your monitor with the colour on another monitor is a pain as it is let alone trying to get it to match a colour on paper or anything else. The Colour problem is not going away real soon considering the number of diferent monitors with different enviroments

Very good question.
Maybe someone should define the term vintage when it is in relevance to computer tech.
My 2 cents would say that any
five year old system would be vintage.
any suggestions or has someone already defined
the term "vintage"?
Best comeback of the week!!!!
