Re: [Digital BW] Epson is losing me

2003-07-10 by Eileen Chun

I had my photo 700 for about six months (years ago), it died, they sent
a  replacement (I'm sure it was refurbished), and still have had no
problems since then.  It's been about five years now, and the Photo 700
still works as well as when I got it.
