You raise a good point about climate impacts beyond our own facilities. We announced an updated climate strategy in June that recognizes that the impacts of our supplier operations, and the impact from the production of electricity used to power the products we sell. Our strategy to address with suppliers is we've begun asking them to account for and report emissions - it's the first step in a long term strategy to help suppliers reduce emissions. we've also committed to providing products with the most performance per watt -- helping customers save not only operating costs, but also energy, and therefore reduce emissions. Also - for anyone who wants to opt out of mailings, there is a form at this link to request that - please let me know if you have trouble with it. http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/policy/en/policy?c=us&l=en&s=gen&~section=009 thanks, Bryant I work at Dell on environment issues, in fact worked on the carbon neutral announcement.
