Yup, most of us in one form or another. 

NONE of us were paid to be in California to advise. 

Most if not all of us have publically discussed our dislike for aspects of the 
Epson print driver and the fact that a $10K printer uses the SAME driver as a 
$99 printer.

Most of us publically hated the 2000P. If you did your homework, you'd know 
I've spent a good deal of time advising most people to use another printer. 

No one was there to try to make Epson happy but rather to insure they 
produce the best possible products.

You all seem to forget how much TIME AND MONEY Epson spent working on 
the Gray Balancer unstead of working on the driver!!! You think this company 
has unlimited focus and R&D? While some group in Japan spent god knows 
how many man hours making Gray Balancer (just look at the work in the 200+ 
page PDF), they were NOT working on the driver. There were not spending 
time getting more OSX support. They were NOT getting linear ink controls for 
the user. They might not be working on a generation of printers even better 
than the 2200.
