Curse you, Steve Jobs!

Zee laptop, eet is kaput! All kaput!

You know, it could be my carting it about in the backpack every day, but I think Apple has lost quality since the old Mac Plus days. I have taken this in to replace the hard drive, to replace the monitor, to replace the logic board ... this stinks.

(Of course, the computer I want to replace it is a MacBook....)

Come to think of it, we did discuss "Design for Environment" for about ninety seconds spread out between two or three lectures... ;)

But you're right – the universities have no incentives to try to instill these ideals. Although ... huh. Thinking about it, there's a lot of stuff offering implicit support for a societal ethic all through education – Silent Spring on the reading lists, for example – but it doesn't exactly get emphasized. It makes me think of The Gate to Women's Country.

Dang. Every time I think about it, the methods of education start looking cleverer and cleverer. :)
