I think that the attached is of importance in relation to convincing the
Federal Government to use Linux. If anyone knows the e-mail address of
the PM, you might pass this on. Anyway, have a look.

Cheers

I have an alert set up at the CNN website that sends me an e-mail each
time a Linux-related story comes across the wire.  Most are not worthy
of a pass-along, but this one is.

I actually remember this story from the first time around, but it's
good to see it pop up again in a general-news context.  Of course,
WinVsita actually exacerbates and ACCELERATES the problem...

True or False: E-Waste

True or False: Switching from a Windows-operated computer to a
Linux-operated one could slash computer-generated e-waste levels by
50%.

A typical real-world story:
"Philippines and other nations brace for more e-waste"
