Taking A Break

You can't fool me Terry.....I know you are a good shot & would & would have "taken care of" OBL when you had the opportunity. (It would have been OBL you targeted.........wouldn't it?)

I just cannot believe Congress would pork up an already painfully large $700b bailout bill. Have they no shame? No regard for the taxpayer? I knew Washington was sick but this is beyond belief, and totally "in your face". Will the people throw the bums out? I doubt it.

Can someone please tell me how a thread entitled "Taking a Break" has now gone on for three pages...

Give it a break!

I think they should all be thrown out & we should have term limits in the future. 2 terms & then CYA!

Someone twisting your arm to read this thread?

Dick, I printed that photo on high quality paper and have it posted here to remind me of why I'm voting for McCain.

That automatically voids the warranty of you printer John.

They come with a warranty?

Sure ......They give you a warranty....It's the INK they don't give you!!

(seriously...I bought my wife a cheap HP All-In-One printer recently for $10.00 more than a damned ink cartridge would have cost!)

The printer might as well be given away considering the prices of those cartridges. I have a HP all in one, I can usually refill the black cartridge once before it quits working. I think they are made that way so you can't keep refilling them. I used to have a Canon that had a separate print head, the cartridges were cheap, they fit into the print head. When the print head quit...$$$$, and hard to find. But it came with ink cartridges

I once had a HP scanner, most of the time I couldn't get it to work. Bought it new, finally gave it away, tried new software, on the phone with HP, never worked right. I swore never to buy HP again. My wife bought the All-In-One at Wally World without me knowing it. Works great, does everything I want it to do, would recommend it.

What they do is provide ink cartridges with a minimal amount of ink with the new printers. We print so irregularly that it really doesn't effect us though. (Kinda like buying a razor...They make their money on the replacement blades & practically give you the razor itself.)

OFF TOPIC ALERT!!!

There are 2 sets of cartridges available for my HP, one cheaper set (less ink) one costlier set (more ink). Sometimes I can get a set and they throw in a second black cartridge FREE!! Woo Hoo!

Of course all they have to do is stop making the cartridges and guess what?????

The best place I have found to buy ink is Ebay. I buy a years supply of non-oem ink for about $25.00. It works just as good as the originals..

I think I read somewhere that printer ink is about $4000 a gallon the way it is packaged.
And you thought gas was expensive.

I don't use enough ink for it to be a concern but I would be tempted to look into those refillable, after-market cartridges they sell online. Anyone ever try those?
