There's some information up on the WPS site on how the Tech department has been going green. To wit:
- in buying refurbished, rather than new, computers, substantial amounts of energy use (that goes into making a new computer) are avoided, and old computers are not headed for a landfill.
- technology that is too old to use is recycled
- WPS computers are automatically shut down at night, saving an estimated $150,000 a year in utilities (and, incidentally, that program was written in house, which saved money, too)
- computer tech support is managed by area rather than by quadrant

just curious how big is the tech support staff? is the refurbishing privatiziced or in-house
T, I think (and I think I'll be corrected by readers over there if I'm wrong ;) ) that WPS purchases refurbished computers when money allows them to purchase tech.
I think the tech staff is four.
