    $#@!)*&^% !!!!

    My frigging printer just took a shit right in the middle of printing a shipping label! Of course ink cartridges are like phone chargers, they just HAVE to change the design with every new product. I have a large box of old phone chargers ... and I have FIVE FRIGGING new ink cartridges here that I can't use ... not to mention the ones in the printer are fresh. It HAD to crap out on a Monday when I have 6 packages to ship. GRRRRR!!!

    I guess I'm off to Best Buy ... I'm dead in the water here.

    Knowing you, you will probably sell those old ink cartridges for more than you pay for a new printer.

    The world must be full of maroons!

    I'm in the process of unpacking my new printer and the first thing I pull out of the box is a warning placard. BIG BOLD print:

    "CAUTION: Ink contains nitrates. Do not drink or place in mouth!"

    Duh! Really???
