- Another (true!) story: a few months ago we received a box from HP, about
- 12"x8"x2" with the ubiquitous padding and packing list that listed itself
- and the shipping materials, all just to send us a vi quick reference card!
- Which we had NOT asked for!
-
- But semi-seriously, doesn't this seem inappropriate in this age of
- environmental consciousness? I mean, I'm not your stereotypical greenie,
- but the amount of shipping material we throw away from HP is obscene!!
-
- On a related note, isn't there some way to recycle or efficiently reuse
- all those HP LaserROM CDs? At the very least, they could have the CEs
- collect them from us when they're out for a service call, and then at
- least reuse the jewel boxes...
