Right to Repair is important. I'm slightly disappointed by the general reaction on this list. We'll spent lifetimes fiddling with software configs to keep it running against all odds, but hardware gets short shrift. I know that processing power and storage improvements have made it poor business practice to get sentimental about keeping older computers running, but some curiosity over how repair and replace is a good thing. We can't live on a growing mountain of e-waste, after all.
I'm with you. The slogan was, after all, Reduce - Reuse - Recycle; and the middle member, RE-USE, is only possible with the ability to repair in the owner's hands. -- Peter King peter.king@utoronto.ca Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-946-3170 ofc Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42
