And then the restaurant owner is invited by the website to respond, Many do so via a "form" letter, a pre-written apologia which can then be taken as a metaphorical summary of the owner's attitude towards cooking. Boil-in-the-bag - who'd know? It is an immutable internet law that someone always does.

A pox on them all, preferably in magenta, cyan, yellow and black. <br />But I will fight these malfaisants as long as I can wield a digital sword. When my all-in-one printer/scanner/copier died I started research to find an affordable replacement. After returning two machines (that seemed ideal from the makers' description) I found that the best source of information on what *not* to buy is in the customer reviews of any item that can be ordered via Amazon. I read the negative reviews first and the most detailed ones are really useful. <br />As for overpriced inks, I now use the much cheaper but very good 'compatible inks' sold by some reputable online companies.<br />Anyway, good luck with your new HP!Nataliehttp://www.nataliedarbeloff.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-87558309696010117862013-07-30T12:07:15.717+01:002013-07-30T12:07:15.717+01:00Printers are expendable, designed to be redundant ...Printers are expendable, designed to be redundant and above all to slurp up overpriced printing ink which feeds and energises designers to design yet more rundundancy into new machines. Although you meet people who love their keyboards, their tablets, their laptops, I have yet to meet or hear of anyone who loves a printer.
