That's actually a very practical approach. Saves time, stress, and probably fuel as well. At my office, I sincerely hope for two investments in 2007. One is a home-office solution that will allow people access to their work desktop from Elsewhere. The second is a decent video- and teleconference setup. > As usual, gentlemen, one has to take into account the pollution that has > to be produced in order to produce these so called non-polluting energy > sources.

Waste will continue to be a problem for a good while yet. Here's one example: In the fifties, someone invented a new kind of tiles for coating house walls on the outside. It was called Eternite, and were supposed to be virtually maintenance free for generations. It became quite popular in the coastal areas of Norway. Now, two generations later, the Eternite doesn't look very good anymore. The surface of these tiles are rough and is an excellent substrate for moulds. They also go brittle and crack in the winter storms, and replacements can now only be found off other old houses. Reason is that Eternite contains asbesthos. In huge amounts, even. Home owners have to pay loads to have it disposed of properly, or face charges for environmental crime if dumped, even in a proper landfill. > However the doomsday will come anyway, regardless ;-). Of course, but it is much more interesting to discuss when and how. :-) Jostein -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
