It was widely acknowledged that the GreenPeace attack on Apple was a cheap shot taken for purposes of garnering publicity. Apple's goal in building the iPhone was to build the iPhone. Building something revolutionary is already tough enough without adding the requirement of making it green. Having met that goal, Apple was already in the process of reviewing the iPhone from a green perspective and had already announced changes to be made for green reasons. Apple is also among the first to switch LCD backlighting to LEDs, which eliminates a source of mercury pollution. Cheap shot. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
