| 888743 | 2010-05-29 08:00:00 | I would not be surprised if some low end ASUS boards and such (including the ones they produce for HP Sony etc) are produced by Foxconn or other sweatshop operators. We are all responsible, so try to make sure you use your present hardware for AS LONG AS YOU CAN. (My newest PC is my lappy, built 2006, all others recycled or second-hand) (Polishes halo :D) |
