 <note tip>A "computer" should be per definition a helping tool, not an energy-consumption with endless scaling. We understand the wording **economic** especially in the direction that we should use all available resources with care, not with having the assumption of the opposite. Aside of this the hardware should be as long persisting as possible and not be exchanged on a near yearly base as new components and complete systems get available promising even more "performance". As with this "performance" also the responsibility to care about the own hardware is forgotten!</note> <note tip>A "computer" should be per definition a helping tool, not an energy-consumption with endless scaling.
