Carbon footprint

I have been quite proud of my reduced carbon footprint this year (even though it is at the expense of my British Airways gold membership).  Incredibly, my new laptop seems to have more than made up for it.

Having spent months stalking geeky forums, eagerly awaiting its release, I was really exited when it's finally time to place an order for my new laptop.  I tracked its path regularly and kept looking out for the UPS man to arrive.  I was like a child on Christmas morning...

...until I get to the point of tracking my laptop across the continents for the third time (second replacement) in four weeks.
