> Hi, > You removed the "I don't think" part while trimming the contents of > my post. What I said was "I don't think LCDs are very commonplace > in India..." takes quite a different meaning. My point is that even if LCD are common, it wont make much difference cause the energy cost of building LCDs, cleaning up all the poison chemicals at the EOL etc are never taken into account. LCDs ofcourse are a lot better for many reasons other than saving the earth by reducing power consumption. Please dont push the green angle without a very thorough study. The results are wholly misleading. > So the amount of power consumed by all the computers would be > lessened as a whole. Looking at the bigger picture, "measurable" > amount of power will definitely be saved. not when you look at the cost of manufacture and clean up. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
