Your call about the markets thing, you're the only one who can properly make it.
I actually understand where you're coming from here, I just also see the other side and find it more compelling is all.

I see what you're getting at now. They are running a refurb program on these at the moment, but I don't know how long that'll last. Eventually, they'll likely end up in a landfill or in an electronics recycling program, depending on who has them at the time. I'd think that if it's Sony that's doing the end disposal they're
more likely to get recycled: they're a big electronics company, and this node of it is located in
California, the state most likely to declare stuff 'hazardous,' and regulate its disposal.

Hey, you weren't out of line! And I didn't mean to seem to be calling you down.
I apologize if I came across that way.
We work hard to keep the forum a place where intelligent discussion can go on respectfully, but it's the
whole community that makes that happen.
As long as your 'angry rants' are as respectful as that one, and your reactions to responses as gracious as yours was, then they're not just welcome, they're one of the main points of the MR community.
