Stupid tech support operator tricks.

But I would say go with HP; despite the problems I have with mine , of course Compaq is the bargain basement arm of HP, get an HP or Brother printer. Brother's good, too. Or you could check out http://www.epinions.com and check the ratings from actual users without having to pay for the priviledge like you would with Consumer Reports. I have no kick against CR, but sometimes I've found their ratings are not quite accurate, or the best-rated items aren't available in my area. Go figure.

Cough*Macintosh*cough*Vista sucks*cough.

I 2nd that
Get a Mac and you will never fear the blue screen of death again. The newer duel processor Macs can run many of the PC based programs

I'm biased our house is pretty much all Apple as the other half was a engineer for them for many years

I got home from work and was adding water to my radiator (I have a leak I plan on fixing in a few days) when I saw the complex manager across the parking lot. She called out that she had something for me and not to go anywhere. It was a small package from Lexmark. The cartridge is here and in a bit I'll test it out, hopefully it'll work perfectly.

Still not perfect but is a little better. Sometime later I'll try the troubleshooting techniques I did when I originally talked to tech support to see if it helps.

Heard a stupid tech support caller trick and thought this might be the thread for it.

A guy in my chorus works tech support, the poor guy. One caller recently was reciting some serial number and used this phrase:

[INDENT]"That's 'Y' as in 'Wyoming'"!!! :D: [/INDENT]
