Help the planet and your budget by keeping old gadgets


The site Last Year's Model is promoting the long-term use of gadgets. It is really smart for both environmental and budgetary reasons. If you buy good products to start with, you should be able to either continue using them or change them to serve new needs. Gina Trapani, the fearless leader of Smarterware, formerly of Lifehacker, still uses her XBox as a media center. I think that's great! I have the original AppleTV with Boxee and no plans to replace it. Gadgets with upgradable and expandable software/firmware are really great for this. Share your story at Last Year's Model.
