Which seems rather amusing since with my Dell, the one time I was unfortunate enough to have to call customer support, it was routed to India. No support to their own?
Ok didn't this happen with the 486DX and 486SX? The problem is the price, you can sell anything if you price it correctly. Even to the point of having to destroy perfectly working CPU's to keep up demand.
Ok this sounds like an awesome idea. And let's be honest it goes back as far as peat burning stoves to my knowledge, possibly before. But, can you truly see the US government going for such a cheap reaalistic idea? For that matter can you see the American public going back to something such as this? You will have people in arms about the smell, the smoke, and let's not forget that cheaper means less to tax. I just can't see this happening anytime in the near future.
