----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Weyn" : I got to be honest with you Karl, this article is a bit misleading. What is : being referred to here is the use of lead in electronics. I know.. I had a huge issue with the phasing out of murcury batteries - which coincided with the introduction of friendlier, safer NiCd's (yeah right, cadmium is SO safe - not) and then there was the C-tick legislation/anti-pollution stuff that crippled small electronics makers here in Oz and.. and.. and.. I think it's funny that a Dell can be rated as enviro-friendly when it uses the same gizzards as a mac. Ho hum, whould I smile when I see the religion of Environmentalism going head to head with the Mac/PC religious groups ? ;) k
