It's funny how gas prices wind us all up. Back in '99, gas here went up by about .07 or .08/ litre & all hell broke loose. I had a retail spot on the TransCanada at the time which sold everything from carved signs to milk, fine art & souvenirs & my business dropped big time because people just stayed home. I figured out, the average person at the time was driving a Camry or Accord ( 40mpg Imperial Gallon) & someone from Toronto going to Quebec City ( 550 miles) for a holiday would have spent about $20 more in fuel costs. If that $20 was the deal-breaker, they couldn't afford the holiday in the first place.....

Todd - the printer is working fine. I'm really pleased with it. My only problem is that OP must have had some influence on Epson because at the bottom of every page it prints "It's Bush's Fault".
Don't get your panties in a wad...it's a joke, folks!

iam glad you like the printer ray. if you do a lot of printing with it that model has the option to replace the 6 carts with a bulk ink system from CIS INK. this was one of the reason i bought it. i have a HP K850 OFFICEJET, 4 color. the original carts for this one are $38 EACH!!! for $49 i converted it to a bulk tank & carts with hoses. the 4 oz refill inks cost me $28 for all 4 colors. but the epson doesnt seem to use a lot of ink. the printer post even had TODD & I having a phone conversation!!!!

Glad you like the printer, Ray - Epson wide format has been very reliable and impressive for me.
Don't get Joe started... we talked on the phone the other day, and now I find it hard to insult him - since we have sort of 'met.' )))))))))))))
Ah, what the heck... bust his chops anyway - it's good for his heart.
Hey Joe - is the bulk ink system available for the Epson R1900? And if so, is it reliable? Is the ink 'Epson' ink or a third party? Doesn't clog the heads, does it? And... finally, is it a cluster-hump in the way it stores next to the printer? Can you post a pic of what it looks like with your printer?
Sorry - so many questions....

David - once while in college (mid 60's) there was a gas war in town and at the lowest it was 12.9 a gallon.
Good thing, too. The 56 Ford (with a highway patrol engine) that I was driving only got 6 miles to the gallon. Probably because I leaned on the accelerator a little too much.

I gotta say; Joe is quite a nice fellow.... and fun to talk with. We had a great little conversation, and I hope to chat with him again some day.
I looked out the window after we ended our call... and by golly, there was a glaze of ice all over my property.... Does this mean my house is built right on top of H - E - Double toothpicks????

See what they're doing? Preston thinks $3.58 a gallon is cheap! Mission accomplished. When they jack it up to $5.50 a gallon, we'll think $4.78 a gallon is cheap.
Edit: Years ago I read an article that explained that they figured gasoline, using 100% of the potential energy contained in a gallon of gasoline, you would get 100 miles to the gallon. With heat loss due to combustion part of the released energy equation, even 100 mph would be impossible.

Gas prices are like the weather to me...no amount of bitchin and complainin will change a thing...so I just pay up at the pump and roll down the road...seriously though...we've got to continue developing alternative energy sources and get away from fossil fuels as soon as possible.
