>Hewitt and Packard would not have focused the company around the evil idea building disposable printers that lock people into overpriced ink purchases.

I'm not a big fan of HP, and I especially abhor the inkjet printer business, but I'd like to point out there's more to HP (and even their printers) than this. Their business printers are still pretty good AFAICT.

My simple rule when contemplating a printer purchase: "do not ever, ever, ever buy an inkjet printer".
