'True Recycler' Symbio Technologies Uses Old PC's as Diskless Thin Clients in New Linux-Based Systems
NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 20, 2004--While some top PC firms have called for old PC's to be recycled environmentally, the founders of Symbio Technologies, an independent consulting and services firm which helps businesses leverage e-business software technology, says "Not so Fast!"

"When I read how Dell(R) and Hewlett-Packard(R) wanted to assume more financial responsibility for recycling used computers," (see '2 PC Makers Favor Bigger Recycling Roles,' The New York Times, May 19, 2004), I couldn't believe it," said Roger Del Russo, co-founder and COO of Symbio Technologies. "I turned to my partner, Gideon Romm, and told him, 'they're taking away future diskless thin clients from our system, The Symbiont(TM), and other Linux(TM) systems. And then they sell new PC's that become old PC's. That's their idea of recycling.'"

Del Russo said "Symbio can help businesses, schools, libraries, government agencies and other organizations get more for their technology dollar and increase their user/computer ratio by rejuvenating outdated PCs, bringing them back to life as diskless thin clients. Just remove the hard drive, CD-ROM, and floppy disk drives and connect the reborn PC to a server loaded with our Symbiont Management Suite and you'll have a robust, new computer that runs as fast as your server," he said. "With the Symbiont solution, a stripped down old PC, even a Pentium(R) I, can be viable and valuable again.
"Lapworks' new laptop desk is perfect for those who travel frequently with notebook computers. It spans the entire lap so you can sit comfortable and have plenty of room, even for the larger, older computer models. Fold it over to incline the keyboard or elevate your screen. It's thin and light, and fits inside a standard computer bag, right alongside your computer."

Laptop notebook computers are getting more and more popular as time goes on. The idea of replacing desktops with laptops seems to be growing by the day. As powerful, thin, and as useful as laptops are, caring for the laptop. Since laptops are portable electronic devices, they are more susceptible to damage than desktop computers. While manufacturers work to prevent wear and tear, there are still some things that should be done to help ensure your laptop lives a long life.

"The thin client is a classic 'less is more' approach with no moving parts to break and no embedded software to update or become corrupted," he said. "And thin clients use 90% less energy than the outdated PC's that spawned them, and, with server-based data and software, there's no virus threat on the desktop.
In addition to size there are other features that differentiate a laptop from a personal computer. Foremost among them is its screen technology. The other differentiating features are the use of the computer mouse (or the lack of it) and the difference in power source. In terms of computing power there is hardly any differentiating factor between PCs and laptops.

"IT experts, such as the Gartner Group, estimate that thin client networks can save thousands in total cost of ownership (TCO)," Del Russo said. "While previous thin client networks could be difficult to configure and administer, we offer a GUI interface and drop-down menus to make it simple and easy. And Symbio is a 'true recycler' as we bring back old PC's as part of a powerful and cost-effective network."
