Epson on the rampage

2006-12-15 by Steven Karafyllakis

My R220 went down a couple weeks back, simply refused to accept paper 
or DVD. I finally got the tech people to agree to replace it, and I 
repeatedly told them I don't want an R260, already got one, please send 
me another R220. Parting comment from the tech guy? 'we don't want the 
old one back, recycle it'.

Today I received the replacement: a brand-spankin'-new R260. I don't 
normally complain about getting an upgraded replacement, but we all 
know whats up here. Epson is determined to eliminate 3rd-party inks, so 
they want all the previous (refillable) machines gone asap. They no 
longer have refurb R220s on the website, only the R340. Price is right: 
$69.00 & free shipping. So if anyone still wants one get it while you 
can! I did. Anyone want a new R260?
