Space age

I recently picked up an E63 from Nokia. Though it's been less than a month, feels good, looks good and has been useful, so far. What with accessibility to net enabled, I thought I shall use time wisely while on the move, and after customary mail check, recalled reading earlier in the day about a non-profit company called greendust that recycles old phones, laptops and a lot of other gadgets.. thought why not read about them? So, logged on to the website www.greendust.net.

And I wasn't prepared to see what I saw!

I reproduce as is:

Oops. (This was in bold!)

Sorry: the page that you requested uses advanced space age technology that we were unable to adapt for your phone.

Space age technology??? Aren't we in it, already?
Don't tell me such messages have been conspired so that I send my phone right away to greendust for recycling?

Incidentally, I was tempted to check up on the NASA website, space age being the key words that lingered, AND.. It opened beautifully! Have changed my mind about the recycling!!

I went back to reading my book, which doesn't require space age technology to open!!
