Well, for instance, I've heard that the average computer system
contains a couple of grams of lead spread across ALL the solder, and
another couple of POUNDS of lead in the glass of the monitor (to shield
the users from Xrays and other nasty stuff.)  Lead isn't enviormenally
nice stuff, but one wonders significantly whether attacking the lead
used in solder is useful (especially compared to, say, car batteries
and other lead/acid batteries that may or may not be being recycled...)
  Not to mention whether the cost (in terms of decreased reliability,
increased manufacturing costs, etc) is worth the results...
