<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp; I will quit buying new printers every year or two and keep 
refilling the ones I have.&nbsp; They will certainly last for quite a few years, 
if necessary.&nbsp; Thing is, the one beautiful thing about free enterprise is 
that there is ALWAYS someone around the corner willing to take just a little bit 
less to get your business.&nbsp; When Epson loses enough business, they will 
either change or sell out, or lose it.&nbsp; Do you really think that ALL 
printer manufacturers will do that?&nbsp; Get real.&nbsp;&nbsp; Canon has 
already made individual color carts and a cartridge that looks easy enough to 
refill.&nbsp; If nothing else, a new upstart will take the business.&nbsp; Basic 
free enterprise 101.</DIV>
