Are you seriously trying to tell me America is short of "green"??

Valid point, it would cost money - but we did it, and you're not short on cash. Think of it as a step forward in modernisation.

- But maybe wait until after the reccession..

*Kinda off-topic now too..

Hmm, didn't know that.

But I'm sure once assets and produce etc. is considered it's still right up in the richest countries, with China Japan etc.

I don't think UK is overall, but when it's per capita, we're a lot further up.

Anyway, VEERY off-topic now.. let's hold it there, the original point is sorted now anyway.

the usa is far from having the money and resources it needs to change but i do agree this off topic discussion has gotten a little to far off topic. back to the origanal question...which i think is already answered. hay, did u guys hear about that one compony thats going to have 4g cell phone connection soon? forget which one it was...

edit-whoops! thought this was a different thread. the one about 3g connections! my bad!

Er, cheese.. this was an ON-topic discussion about HDD's.. so mobile connections os still off-topic..

Think you're getting muddled with the 3G thread..
