I have to agree 100%, but would use the word "credit" instead of
blame. I hate to throw away computers because they are so bad
environmentally. Linux gave new life to a bunch of old computers.
So, with that, you are 100% correct, snide and all!

Again, 100% accurate. In fact what I saw as kinda green has in
fact turned out not-so-much. So now I just need to reconsider my
whole position and shut off most of the machines . . .
