White paper: Green IT is not just about power consumption

Did you know that moving from a three-year PC lifecycle to a four-year one could save about $325 per PC? Or that the number could hit $500 per PC, if you extend that lifespan by just another year? Now, multiple that by 1,000 computers. Or 10,000. That's...

You've gotta love the analogies people come up with to describe the magnitude of their efforts to help the environment. (By the way, guilty as charged.)
