OT: Vista and my printer

[scirocco16vr32 at gmail.com (Chris Bennett)]

I was getting bubblejet printers (HP's) at Walmart for $30 a pop.  When they
ran out of ink I would get a new one as it came with a new cartridge and it
was cheaper than the individual cartridges.

Just a suggestion.

I have had mixed experience with Lexmark.  I prefer HP for printers anyway.
Their computers are not scottish and therefore are CRRRRRRRAP!!!

1 am... finally made it to my room in Toronto.  Grrr.  18 hours of travel
and four hours of sleep.  I should be a ray of friggin sunshine tommorow.
