  Actually, airlines with flights from the UK to the US were NOT allowing electronics of any kind to be brought into the passenger cabins. This policy may have since been modified...

• Apple should be commended, not criticized.
  I consider myself to be an environmental realist.
  
  Batteries are bad, and need to be recycled in an eco-friendly manner. I believe Apple is offering that service, along with other tech mfgs. If you want to throw it away, then just pull the battery out and drop it off at a NiCad battery recycling facility near your house.
  
  Packaging waste is the other big issue, and the need to develop more eco-friendly packaging is important. Apple's Shuffle packaging, for example, is one of the smarter approaches to reducing landfill waste. The package is considerably smaller than equivalent MP3 players, thus less waste. The hang tab is also the security closure, one less piece of plastic or cardboard to throw away. They don't have a lot of extra crap in the box either that you don't need or use (I don't need another recharger brick). The carton is made of recycled waste paper, and what little plastic they do have in the carton is recyclable PETE (1). Same stuff your milk bottles are made of.
  
  Bravo Steve.

• NCR?
  NCR? Wasn't this the last failed attempt of AT&T to try and try and try again at the computer business, and didn't they finally decide it really was about cash registers, and ATMs?
  
  First year: fix the financials. Second year: deliver! Third year: leave with a big fat check in your hand, because you couldn't do year 2. Isn't that what Jere Stead did for AT&T/NCR, and I think it only took him 1.5 years.
  
  Good luck Mr. Hurd. (Remember the words of your predessor - Lars - 'I'm sorry, it's not about all of you - it's simply business.')

  Pick a color or pick none. Oh and don't forget to wash your hands before touching the front panel, if you even use it in the up. Position.
