Unfortunately, the obsolescence rate of computer hardware has, if
anything, increased over the last couple of years.
There is a sense in which this is a "growth industry," namely that
people, in being in some senses, more 'environmentally aware,' think
it's more important than it used to be.
But the ability to actually reuse old hardware has been falling.
Colin McGregor can doubtless speak to this with considerable
authority... He was with one of these organizations, and has been
watching the economics get worse, not better.

Oddly enough, this is completely standard behaviour for shells. This
is a roundabout way of saying `don't use combined chains of `&&'s and
`||'s unless you think Gödel's theorem is for sissies'.
