I couldn't agree more.  I'm really 
surprised that Epson is going this 
route; the US market tends to be 
rather unforgiving of these sorts
of shenanigans.  Instead of going 
with an open/sensible cartridge design
like the Canons, they're trying to make
their system even more closed and 
difficult than it is now.  It's 
beginning to look like my next printer 
won't be an Epson...

Of course, there's still the 3000,
or whatever Epson has up their sleeves
to replace it.  But most likely not in
my budget.
