Re: Tough Sell
@WolfFan: I think Purism are being more than a bit naive on the whole ethics thing.
I personally don't believe it's possible to be in the hardware business and claim that you're ethical.
Some issues to consider:
The mining and refining of gold, copper and other metals, and the pollution it causes...
The e-waste problem at the end-of-life. Europe and the US likes to ship its shite to third-world countries...
The exploitation of workers in China and elsewhere by multinational companies in the manufacturing process...
Anyway, Purism's sales figures are going to run to three digits at most so maybe they won't have much of a footprint from an ethics point of view.
