OK, so you've had a lot of fun on this. Is it too
much to ask that
you think about what materials you are using? Search for Madagascar
and Rosewood and maybe see that this
is a real issue. To put my foot in it, my daughter is living there
and the destruction of the forest is just horrendous. Remember those
cute Lemurs? Will be gone soon without a forest to live it.
Apologies for going way off topic. But as I said, would it hurt you
to understand where your materials are coming from? How about living
on this earth?
I know this will never convince some of you, but I feel better for
saying it.
That's good and all, but that doesn't change the fact that this is
completely ludicrous.
Nobody is disputing the evilness of the demise of rosewood. What
we're talking about here, though, is a very small amount of RECYCLED
rosewood for ONE particularly rare (much rarer than rosewood!) computer.
And even if that somehow manages to multiply into ALL Straight-8s in
existence, we're talking about enough rosewood to make just about one
bedroom dresser.
If you shop at Wal*Mart, you're doing FAR more damage to Earth than
restoring one Straight-8 with real rosewood. Think about what you're
(loudly) saying here.
I respectfully submit that you need to get a grip.
