Okay, two quotes to demonstrate this guy's modesty and intelligence:
* "GIVE IT UP FOR ME!!"
* "Four words for you: I... LOVE... THIS... COMPANY."
Unbelievable. Almost.

I agree with your answer there Anne. I'm glad you told him where to go.

because they're slow. HELLO!?! Look at the price! Of course they're not
going to have the speed and performance of a 2GHz + computer. But if

3 years ago on the Lexmark 3200 being a great value for a "high quality"
ink jet printer. So they were on sale at best buy and I bought 2 of them.
One for us and one for my roommate's daughter. They are total pieces

Anne, look - for all intents and purposes, you're swimming upstream
