Steve, 

A. I am NOT a beta tester. I am NOT using the 4.3 inks.  I am using the
EBONI BLACK - 4 K ink ONLY. I was using it with the old, normal MIS VM
inks that have been on the market for years.

It was my personal opinion about chinese merchandise. Has NOTHING to do
with people. Has to do with poor quality of the products. It has to do
with the fact that you no longer have a choice that will let you buy
products that are made elsewhere, at least in this part of the country.
I've bought literally HUNDREDS of things made in China because you have
no choice. EVERY one of them has lasted about a tenth as long as it
should have. This includes all the AM radios, garden tools, etc I've
ever purchased that were made in one of the 3 countries I mentioned. 

I never said ALL things made there were no good. I said there are
exceptions. I usually have to buy garden tools, nozzles, water wands,
hand digging tools and things like this every year because of the poor
quality. Sorry you don't agree with me.  Maybe you have never shopped at
Kmart for your garden or electronic stuff. I just would like a CHOICE.

I'm not speaking of people, only the quality control of a LOT of things
made there.

And I said nothing that would include other Asian Countries. I singled
out three of them because those are the three whose products have proven
to be bad, in MY case.

There are

I said that. I know that.  There are exceptions. thats why I said there
were exceptions.

I'm NOT using the 4.3 inks!!!!!
