Apples and oranges, though. What you really need to do is compare the
environmental damage or your two halon extinguishers (or rather all the halon
extinguishers that are actually *used*) and compare that to other sources of
halon (or equivalents) that cause similar environmental damage.
I bet the banning of halon extinguishers was cooked up by a bunch of
politicians to make it look like they were "doing something" rather than going
after the real culprits :-(

I've still
got a few big Halon-charged units whose gauges say they're fine,
but I know that Halon's a no-no because it eats a hole in the sky. So
All I can say to that is that you should compare the environmental damage
done by a couple of Halon fire extinguishers with the damage that would
be done if you had to rebuild all your classic computers and other stuff
from scratch.
