Sabotage !

[NightCrawler]

Went to CompUSA today for a couple nic-nacs and noticed that I couldn't get a single Canon Printer to print. All the demo's wouldn't work, one of the compusa guys came over and said that the Epson sales rep was messing with them.

What are the odds that 6 Canon Printer Demo's would be broken ?



PS: They had ink and paper in them.

That's pretty lame. Are your products that bad that you simply can't compete unless you screw their's up?

What's lame is when people trust the in-store demos to be proof of the quality of the product.

Well, I don't trust in store demos myself anyway, but that's even less reason to whack someone else's product. You are just proving that yours don't measure up regardless of whether demos are proof or not.

I can?t stand it I know you planned it
I?m gonna set it straight, this watergate
I can?t stand rocking when I?m in here
Because your crystal ball ain?t so crystal clear
So while you sit back and wonder why
I got this fvcking thorn in my side
Oh my, it?s a mirage
I?m tellin? y?all it?s sabotage

So listen up ?cause you can?t say nothin?
You?ll shut me down with a push of your button?
But yo I?m out and I?m gone
I?ll tell you now I keep it on and on

?cause what you see you might not get
And we can bet so don?t you get souped yet
You?re scheming on a thing that?s a mirage
I?m trying to tell you now it?s sabotage

Whyyy; our backs are now against the wall
Listen all of y?all it?s a sabotage
Listen all of y?all it?s a sabotage
Listen all of y?all it?s a sabotage
Listen all of y?all it?s a sabotage

I can?t stand it, I know you planned it
But I?m gonna set it straight this watergate
But I can?t stand rockin? when I?m in this place
Because I feel disgrace because you?re all in my face
But make no mistakes and switch up my channel
I?m buddy rich when I fly off the handle
What could it be, it?s a mirage
You?re scheming on a thing - that?s sabotage

Epson is up there w/ the worse ink toner system, ever. Canon makes the BEST ink toner system.

 

[joecool]

hmm, yet another reason why i don't even bother with in-store demos.

 

[imported_Hi]

Did they have usb cords plugged in

What's lame is when people trust the in-store demos to be proof of the quality of the product.

So the alternative is what? Read "reviews" online? Most of which are little sites where the reviewers give 9.5/10 to every product to keep on good terms with the manufacturer who supplied them with product and let them keep it. Read magazine "reviews" where the free product isn't nearly as important as the advertising dollars. Ask two friends, buy the least lame of the two products they have?

Seems as if you're supporting the sabotage in order to justify your better system of comparing products before buying - so what's that better system?

WTF is Ink Toner? You either have Ink, Toner or Wax sticks for solid ink printers..

Having owned Epson printers, I can say "Duh, YES!"

EXACTLY. That and consumer reports have mostly un-biased opinions on things. Sure, you can get an idea of how a product looks or feels at the store that may justify it's purchase, but what about lifespan? With printers, what about the efficiency of ink usage? How often must it be calibrated? An in-store display may print beautifully, but does it require a special ink cartridge to print that way? You'd be surprised how many printers do.

McCarthy, I don't support a sabotage... I support doing your homework as opposed to trusting an item when what the display may be likely to perform different from what is in the box... whether it's better or worse.

Canon should setup a video survelliance and catch them red handed and then sue them !!!!!!
