There is one thing that almost nobody seems to have realized yet: the ratio 'old/new" personal computers is much higher now than 10 or 5 years ago. So, if developers (people who don't pay their PCs, or would buy a new one before bread every two years anyway) "prioritise for the new ones", the percentage of users who will be cut off will grow how PCs as an home item become older in society. If, instead, everybody decided instead "OK, vacation, music, insurance, swimming lesson, clothes..." are less important of a new PC (assuming they have the money, of course), and trash away perfectly good stuff every other day, other problems arise (the "pollute a lot" link at the beginning of RULE home page).
