**Everything you wanted to know about your new gadget but were afraid to ask **

Forgive the rant. But it has been building up for some time.

This relates to a blog post that I put up the other day

I could not agree more. WHere do I sign the petition?

I might just create one but I'm afraid that there's not much public interest in more expensive gadgets these days. I have posted this rant on my Blog. jimmersddotcom. Maybe start passing it around? :)

Wow. Very provocative. I started this video thinking "Sure, I bought a new TV for a grand two months ago, but if it craps out on me in another year, I don't really mind--there's something bigger and better to be had for $1000." By the end of the video, you made me want pull out the 15" CRT monitor that buried in the garage and dust it off.

[JimmerSD]

That's me the provocateur! I am constantly amazed that someone would consider a $1000 investment throw away. Some day's I just feel old. :0)

[JimmerSD]

This was really informative and interesting. I'll keep my eye out for legislation- of course they're doing it in europe...that's why I moved here for school!! :)

[RustleAbout]

Well said. I support this idea, big time!

[JimmerSD]

I do the same. There is so much waste in plastic containers and packaging.

I take the packaging off the gadget and leave it at the store.

Too much packaging going in the trash.

I am not much of a gadget person.
