vintage computers and lead poisoning?

Quothe Glen Goodwin, from writings of Fri, Jun 04, 2004 at 06:39:24PM -0400: Because it's less wasteful. Perhaps the problem is plentiful and inexpensive PCs for foolish and wasteful throwaway societies. If the idiots running computer companies would start charging several thousand dollars for them again, design them to be more repairable and upgradeable with less waste, then more would end up being repaired. If schematics, theories of operation, commented firmware sources, etc. were easily obtainable, more proper repairs would be made as well. More parts need to be re-used instead of dumped into landfills; repairing rather than replacing would help with this problem. -- Copyright (C) 2004 R. D.
