The Greatest Scam Going

Ink Cartridge replacement indicator light.....again?!?!

$43.00 later, I am able to print docs again...but, alas, a few days later; another indicator light......'color ink low'......whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!!!!!

$46.oo dropped at the Staples counter....and I'm ready to print stuff...nothing fancy, just some lesson plans or info for my kid....But didn't I just spend nearly $100 for a very tiny quantity of thin, liquid paint?

Did we have this issue with the electric type-writer? I don't think so. The biggest pain was replacing the correction tape.....and it certainly didn't cost as much as dinner for two at a really good restaurant.

Can we call our congress people and get them to do something about this rip off? You know, with the advent of so much great technology designed to save time and become better organized in our ever changing lives.....is this the unforeseen price we have to pay..? Paying way too much for what amounts to watered-down rock residue? This is absurd, people.
