Perhaps I'm just a little oversensitive to the idea because of all the
computer hardware and software that has become obsolete over the years -
millions and millions of tons of still working but obsolete computers,
printers, and peripherals, dumped into landfills throughout the country.

Heheheh I'm still using 486DX-66 's here to build cheap and dirty routers
using KA9Q's old gateway (dos based) software They are cheap and easy to
build and require no HD, just two NIC's and a floppy disk drive. Lots go to
the dump, very true, but there are enough of them around and at fire sale
prices that you could keep the current PC controlled radios running almost
indefinitely.
