…and no good for the planet either. Where do es all this old kit go? I suspect most of it ends up buried in landfill.

But exactly what are Acer, Fujitsu, HP etc doing about this? Not a great deal as far as I can see. Is there somewhere you can take your old pc to have it cannibalised so that nothing is wasted?

I tried to get rid of a pc once, and even the charities would only take Pentium 4s and above… alas my trusty old thing wasn’t up to the task. So computer equipment manufacturers and retailers, please can you get a bit greener and help us recycle….

Do yourself a favor, get one of these PCs listed below. They won’t go out of style and you won’t feel cheated by price deflation.

Soon pocket PCs will sell for under $100US in discount stores. There will be dozens of brands from dozens of manufacturers. HP, Dell, and Sony are in Big Trouble. Their contractors — Asus, Wistron, etc. — and others are going to undercut them in a vicious price war.

Here’s the entrants (and proposed competitors of Eee) already:

Everex Cloudbook (for Wal-Mart)

HCL Mi Leap X (India)

e-Way Technology Systems (Taiwan) $150, 7″ PC

Gigabyte Technology (no details yet)

Cybertron CM900 Mini-PC

Micro-Star International ultraminiature Due July-Aug 2008

So get an Eee. It’s the Model-T of computing, and it will some day be seen as historic, after some of the leading brands like Dell are humbeled. Remember, S-C-E: Small-Cheap-Easy, the winning combo.
