Just to clarify: I did not buy this computer yet. I got it to try for some
days. I have taken it for few days to try. I should tell, that it goes
without OS, with DOS only, but I find there also drivers for Win XP. So,
things are not so bad as they seem.

I completely disagree with you in this point. I do not meant "collect" this
resources I save. I mean, that any advanced technologies (if it is REALLY
advanced) must keep and save resources instead of squander them (any
resources - electric, water, thermal, etc, etc) Just multiply superfluous
electric power on the number of personal computers in the world and you'll
get huge figures.. There is a places in the world where is no electricity at
all. Natural resources are limited, we should save them.
