Unfortunately, many of those 3rd party inks are garbage, often damaging printers and in HP's case, will void your warranty!
As for Lexmark, if they were to lower their prices for replacement cartridges, Maybe the consumer Might be inclined to buy their inks. Why anybody buys a Lexzmark printer in the first place, baffles the mind!!
As it stands, you can buy a Lexmark piece of junk printer for under $79.00, but the replacement ink cost over $100.00!!
Might as well buy a new printer every 3 months!!
When you buy a bundled package at any big box store, which printer do they usually/always include?
Why, Lexmark of course! They can't sell their printers, so might as well give them away!! :)
A comment made from an Exec. working for Microslop in the Philippines, where 95% of all software, Windows included, is pirated. The Philippines, as well as China and other Asian countries are seriously poor and the average person cannot afford to pay for their warez, but need them for their work.
As for users with pirated copies of Windows not being given access to updates and security patches, is so far from the truth, it's not funny!! Getting by the WGA is very easy to do and has been done since the beginning of Windows!
Bugs, malware, spyware and other nasties affect legit users of Windows just as much as the illegal users, so this MS Executive from the Philippines is really full of crap!!
500 million is peanuts compared to the money the U.S government wastes every day. How much have they blown on the war in Iraq, alone and it's not even their war!! It's quite obvious that the U.S. has way more money than brains and wastes it on stupid things, so the computer fiasco is a minor technicality.
Great country, huh? 8 million illegal immigrants, broken borders and no way to fix that. Lousy, non-existant health care system, hundreds of thousands of jobs lost to outsourcing, GM filed for chapter 11 and thousands more jobs gone. No way to stimulate the economy, but blow hundreds of millions of cash on obsolete 'puters. :)
They originally got a DELL and that's when their problems began. Everybody, except the FBI, knows that DELL is crap. DELL makes a pretty box, for sure and that's about it.
Makes sense to me. Yes, there are laws aginst doing anything that impairs driving and in some States and Provinces, they are enforced.
I really get off on the "idiots" doing e-mails on their Blackberrys, while driving or sitting at an intersection, or women applying their make-up, while driving. The same applies to cell phones. There are hands-free devices available, so they should be used. There's a time and place for everything and driving a car while doing other things is not acceptable.
The kid who killed the cyclist should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Re: Megaupload Negotiating
What about all the "illegal" files and stuff that the Government flunkies uploaded?
I'll bet they're eager to dump those files before the court case comes up!
Bunch of hypocrites!!
