One of my computer printers is dying. A competent repair shop
diagnosed it and informed me a certain part needed replacing. The
printer is a couple of years old and parts are available, but the
manufacturer will not sell the part in question, even to its
authorized service depots.

So I called the printer company Friday, and, after brushing off its
first line of defense, a barely English-speaking clown in India (I
asked, he told me where he was*), I got connected to a series of
U.S.-based service/technical folks.

At the end, the best deal I was offered was to buy a new printer
from
the company at a "special price," which was *only* $50 more than
anyone could buy it for from any of at least 100 retailers.

The company I was dealing with used to have a stellar
reputation. No
more.

Anyway, this leads me to wonder if anyone is maintaining a list of
those U.S. companies that still provide good products and good
service.

* I have nothing against India or people from that area, but when
these people are hired as the first line of service for U.S.
corporations to deal with U.S. customers, they ought to have decent
facility with...English.

Walmart printers are the best - YOU bought one!

At least you got the rebate.

Sorry, "krueger"...I didn't buy a printer at wal-mart. Nice try,
though.

Spoofer alert! Everyone here saw the picture I posted of my cat on my
printer. My printer had a wal=mart sticker still on it. I tried, as
usual, to lie but it didn't work.

D'uh. It was a coupon for free Wal-Mart photo processing, which I gave
to my nephew. I don't shop at Wal-Mart.

No wonder you joined the navy. You were too dumb to go to college.

I've never been in the Navy, spoofer. I did go to Viet Nam in secrecy
with a high ranking general. College? I've told everyone here I went to
Yale. The 'Nam thing is why there is no record of my attendance there.
Really. It is.

Gee, I never went to Vietnam with a general. Were you the general's
fluffer or his knob polisher, flajim?
Do you want to clear up that Yale degree rumor while you're at it?

snerk. You haven't the brain power to figure out a coupon sticker.
