Solution to Green Computing

Did you know that every PC that runs Windows XP's sleep mode can escalate up to 5 billion dollars per year in energy costs? Did you also know that there also 20 million personal computers in the United States alone that end up becoming obsolete and become hazardous environmental waste? And sadly, only a very small percentage consisting of 3.3 million are recycled or donated.

Due to the fact that technology is constantly growing by leaps and bounds on a frequent basis and replacing outdated systems in the process, is there anything that can be done with an obsolete computer rather than disposing of it? How will we ever work to achieve a cleaner planet if everyone continues to take energy consumption and electronics disposal for granted?

Fortunately, there is a green computing solution to this issue. Userful has created a dream green machine that gives anyone the ability to turn a standard PC system into a multi-computer platform. In other words, you can transform one PC into ten.

How is this done? Userful constructs its systems with multiple video card slots that allows you to add up to 10 different monitors, and multiple USB ports for keyboard and mouse functionality. Powered by Userful Desktop, you have the ability to use multiple computers on an easy to use, tightly secured network. It's ideal for a variety of public computing avenues such as libraries, Internet cafes, airports, schools and hotels.

Userful's mission is to achieve the three R's for its consumers: Reduce environmental impact of computing, Reusability of existing computers, even ones that are considered to be obsolete, and Return of investment which allows the consumers to make money off their Userful Desktop.

Userful Corporation is quickly becoming the worldwide leader for green computing.
