Wrap It Up - Environmentally Responsible Packaging

Paul Russell, Corporate Packaging Engineer at Hewlett-Packard, will
discuss how the Task Group on Packaging and the Environment, which he
co-founded is in the final stages of completing industry standard
specifications for computer packaging design. HP as well as Apple, Sun
and others are committed to adopting these specifications into their
own design decisions.  A manual detailing these industry specs will
be available during early August.
