And the printers come with "starter doses", partially filled cartriges. So only buy an HP printer if you intend to use it seldom. Remember when HP had integrity? Well, you may be too young.

You sort of need one to do electronic design these days.

They DO have integrity with what they make right now. Keysight has theirs. You seem to be too stupid to know how or what to measure, so your remarks carry zero credence. But hey... you also think that the Space Shuttle Program produced nothing useful, and are stupid enough to make the same retarded declarations about the ISS. Real scientists who see you spout that horseshit know right where your head is at. Firmly up your ass.

Then, you ask in here about things you then claim that you have someone else make effective. You should have washed that thumb off before sticking it back into your mouth.
