Green Machine
Looking for a computer that your kids can
use without sending you into worry mode?
The Zonbu Desktop-mini ($99, plus $15 per
month) is an eco-friendly hard drive that
automatically backs up all of your family
photos, videos, and important documents
on a “disaster-proof” server. You can access
everything on your hard drive remotely at
zonbu.com, which means your child can
finish her book report at Grandma’s house
just by logging on to your account. This
compact (weighs just two pounds) kid-proof
computer comes loaded with pre-installed
programs and connects to a recycled
monitor, keyboard, and mouse. And as a
Zero Emissions PC, this green gadget saves
lots of energy (it consumes a tenth of the
power of a typical desktop) and reduces your
CO2 emissions.
