My waffling decision du jour is to go the C84 EZ route.

I found that not only is there a $20 rebate till the end of June in the USA 
for purchase of a C84, but there is a $50 rebate if you buy any digital 
camera on the same invoice.  They must figure that if you buy a camera you 
are much more likely to buy lots of ink and Epson paper.

My wife had been planning to get me a new pocket digicam for my 
birthday.  Now I'm being a good boy in hopes of getting the C84 too.   For 
$50 net it's not a very tough decision.

Justin, did you go warm or neutral, glossy or matte?   Any comments about 
those choices appreciated.  I'm tempted to split it down the middle and do 
the warm yellow cart that Paul R is fond of, but there is some comment 
about it using more ink in self-tests that way.   Paul?
