Hewlett Packard's obligation?
Watching C-SPAN regarding HP?s other practices, got me to thinking. At the speed of technology in today?s fast paced world, what is new today could be replaced in a weeks time as completely outdated. Which brings up the subject of HP printers and HP?s anti-trust practices, of shutting down the use of my HP printer, at a predetermined time by not allowing consumers the free choice in the use of ink supplies, or ink cartridges from other suppliers. This brings up the question, what if HP decided that the printers now in use cannot be supported any longer by HP technical expertise or other product support, and considers those fully functional printers now in use obsolete? You know this happens each and everyday. Which leaves those HP fully functional printers presently in use, useless due to the unavailability of HP support or ink supplies, and the inability to function with ink supplies from other ink suppliers or competitors which are readily available.

I hope you will consider this in your fight against HP practices.
