Hello Tom - 

TW>>> And tooling up for the lower volumes then the OEM has
TW>>> could be a money looser. Although I hear soem are trying
TW>>> it. And with almost FREE Slave Chineese labor who knows
TW>>> it just might wrok. 

->> Less than a dollar to manufacture, then shaft the American
->> public for $50, like shoes and most other products today. 

TW> Speaking about Fleecing the Public the SuuthEast asian
TW> qartists are starting to flood the US with Fake Ink
TW> Cartridges built as cheeply as posable. 

The Asians are supplying the labor but it's Americans who are
fleecing other Americans but putting these look-alikes on their
shelves. They know the price they pay is too low to be the real
thing but they do it anyhow. Kmarts sold fake brand name spark
plugs for YEARS this way. 

TW> Some that don't work at all and some that leak so badly if
TW> you don't notice it they destroy your printer. They come in
TW> Perfect Replicas of the Epson and other manfacturers boxes.
TW> Thyey are being pushed into the Regular supply channels 

They are being _pulled_ into supply channels. No one forces
these things they are sought after commodities by Americans to
cheat Americans with. 

TW> and one buying on hte internet wshould be very wary of
TW> priced almost too good to be true. 50% of the ink
TW> cartridges sold in the Middle East and Mexico are Fake. The
TW> full article is in the August PC World magazine. Yuo might
TW> be able to view it on line at www.pcworld.com since the
TW> September is now out. 

This is one reason one of my favorite older movies is "The Flim
Flam Man" with George C. Scott. :-)
