And that's precisely why millions of disused PCs are headed for landfills, where they pose a genuine threat to the environment.

I think is time to do something about this, It may afect us worse if we let it go by. Trash these PC computers in a fashonable way, lets be nice and donate/ship all parts to MEXICO or Africa , teach a few Mexicano guys to build them and let them give it to the poor and needee.

Why We (US companies) are so greedy?
