[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 25029, member: 126"] Re: Disposable products... or not? At least the $10 cell phone is designed to be disposable, the problem with similar fast changing technology, even if designed to not be disposable, people are reluctant to fix a product that is not up to current functionality. I have a pile of old computers that still turn on, but yawn, why bother? While I am reluctant to agree with a lot of European legislative mothering, there is some merit to anticipating the life cycle of consumer products, wrt recycling and hazardous materials used, while those policies could perhaps benefit from some perspective regarding lead.
