"you'll still be able to use an environmentally friendly push mower to cut that lawn"

... which I do.

My neighbour uses a riding mower, for a lawn barely large enough to accommodate it. He never gets it mowed properly and, to be blunt, looks like he could stand using a push mower a little more often. :)

No, I see your point. I dont think you see mine. I'm not saying all technological progress is bad. But a great deal of it is certainly misguided, with short-term gain for long-term pain. Yep, all those dead batteries have to go somewhere. And all those files you installed with the DAZ installer? Good luck in tracking everything down when you want to get rid of them because your RT is the size of the Hindenburg.
