How does that vary with world locations, age group, where they buy. Is it only greenies or is it going mainstream? Is this a good business?</p> How has the consumer response to your energy gadgets been? How does that vary with world locations, age group, where they buy.

The majority of desktops that other manufacturers sell contain processors alone that draw 60-120W. What a waste of power, especially since many people don't need a bleeding edge system to work on some office documents, read email and surf the web. Will you commit to reducing the electric draw that your <em>desktop</em> computers use? Not just for a token model or two that is overpriced, but in quantity to make it more cost effective? How do you think you might accomplish this?</p> I’ve got some questions, not targeted directly/only at your panel, but other sponsors of the show too.
