I recently answered a series of interesting questions about ppg256, questions that pertained to digital preservation among other issues. I just wanted to share the one that I thought about the longest. Although I care deeply about properly addressing issues of energy use, recycling, and ethical sourcing of computer components, I think that there are … <\/p>\n
