Going back to some of the things Maddog talked about (supporting 'friendly'
companies), Lexmark is definitely on my no-no list, given their record of
DMCA abuse.

Oh, and their serious stuf is horribly overpriced, too. Particularly when you
consider that Dell printers are OEM'd Lexmark devices for a fraction of the
price, and with cheaper consumables too.

Ward.
