Ralf, as you know, computer recycling is big business in North America 
and the EU.  There's a depot in my American town where people throw away 
unused technology for recycling.  Developed countries can recycle as 
users buy new boxes.  It's just not realistic to expect this level of 
ecological ability in most countries.  We can work on developing a green 
computer recycling system in other places, but achieving that goal might 
take a long time.  Until then, it's just important to get the world online.
