Hee.  That's about the only time I ever listen to that show,  when I'm out
riding around in the car.  That lady drives me nuts!  I've caught her in a
couple of errors,  already...

Yeah,  during recent conversations with a few different people on the
subject of printers,  the one thing that comes up over and over again is
that I should make it a point to find out,  before I get anything,  what
it's gonna cost for refills.
