Re: OT: Canon X Mark I Premium Calculator Message #9 Posted by Frido Bohn on 5 Jan 2011, 4:20 a.m., in response to message #1 by Matt Kernal
Hello Matt,
quite interesting product indeed.
What also attracts my attention is the statement on the Canon site:
"Display lens made from Canon Digital Cameras' Recycled Pre-consumer materials"
So, we are confronted with a by-product of the camera manufacturing branch of Canon.
Not to say, a product made of parts which formerly would have disappeared in the waste basket, and now contributes to the Green labeling of the company.
What kind of calculators would we have to expect as a by-product of, let's say, Rolls-Royce, Coca-Cola or Boeing?
Or even Hewlett Packard? :-))
Regards
Frido
P.S.: What in the heck is "Pre-consumer"? Is there a life form beneath of the consumer?
