A good rant about a very real problem, e.g. the reason I switched to Brother and have switched my parents to them as well, but it should be noted that HP stopped being a "moral" company a long time ago. They've been selling computers and printers with insane bloatware drivers for many years now (at least back to 2004).<p>One might also note a business model where ink cost $8,000/gallon or as some headline noted, more than human blood. (OK, that's perhaps an acceptable trade off, but it burns first time buyers nonetheless. About the only good thing here is that HP has the ink jets integrated into their cartridges, so refills are not terribly dangerous.)<p>And then we could get into the post H&P period where the company's treatment of their employees has been quite nasty. Or the general decline of the quality we used to get from the HP name (I'm still using my HP 28S calculator from the late '80s). Etc. etc. etc. etc.
