Starting to save today is always better than starting tomorrow because no matter how long it takes to get back what you invested it will always be one day earlier than if you started tomorrow. That's fine for total saving. Including also all forms of landfill/transportation/recycling costs one might discover an unsupportable cost/benefit ratio. Spending dollars only to save pennies is typically foolish.
But spending dollars to save *TIME* [and equivalent frustration] is always a worthwhile; and if I save a bit of power, that's just an extra benefit.
Progress is not a bad thing and progress does involve letting go of some things to gain others. This is true, but don't confuse progress with change.
Agree. But replace a P4 system with an i7 system and there is no confusing that for mere change; its *progress* when procedures that took minutes complete in seconds.
They are not interchangeable.
Nope. But newer systems are clearly progress. -- Adam Tauno Williams <awilliam@whitemice.org> LPIC-1, Novell CLA <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware, Cyrus IMAPd, Postfix, OpenLDAP, Samba -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
