Bamboo Computing
More Bamboo stuff! Bamboo housing for computer components seem a much cooler alternative the standard earth-unfriendly plastic. You will love the attractiveness and green street cred of bamboo so you will perhaps keep your mouse, keyboard and monitor much longer than normal.
However, the specs for the monitor seem rather modest for the price but should work fine for most people’s needs, the 19″ (largest model) has 1280 x 1024 native resolution. The one drawback is that with this extra green cache comes a catch! £269 (approx $525.00 US dollars ) You are buying a unique item, almost a work of art rather than just a computer part. Check it out at nigelsecostore.com They also have lots of other interesting green office equipment to peruse while you are there.
How can we talk about wooden and bamboo computing without at least a mention of the greenist computer of all - the abacus. This antique vintage model has a gorgeous patina and the beads click in a satisfying manner. If modern industrial society ever comes
to an untimely end - this Chinese Abacus might come in handy, better get one now so you will be up to speed when the lights go out! $100.00 at Asianideas.com Here is a link to a site with all things abacus.
