I've heard horror stories of the refill leaking. Afraid to do that. Am I being irrational? (this is why I like laser printers)

Thanks. It seems Supermedia.com, Walmart and Shoplet are all within a couple bucks of each other for OEM Canon ink. For a complete set, it looks to be about $80. Which seems outrageously priced to me. And the horror stories I hear, and have read in reviews* has me worried about using non-oem stuff. And has me thinking that it's all some big racket, that if you have to have a precise chip for this ink, and the non-oem can't buy that chip, then it seems like a monopoly type of thing, and needs an investigation to defend our rights to free enterprise.

Oh, and the * is to say, I know reviews are filled with crackpots who have no clue. But sometimes they bring up good points, so I have a grain of salt, and take heed.

Yeah, you don`t buy printers, you buy ink consumption machines. That`s the business model.

No kidding. I recall NoiseDesign mentioning he just buys a new printer, it's easier, and about the same price. Alas, no can do.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Yeah, that's why I've always bought laser printers. I can do without color printing. If I need something in color, I'll go to Kinkos.

I'm trying to be fiscally prudent, since I work for a state agency and all. But this is crazy. I have a crappy laser printer that drops more toner on the sheet where there isn't text than where there is, and can only be connected to the old XP machine, and can't be shared. And I have the sweet multi-purpose machine that costs a fortune in ink, but scans my receipts rather nice. I can't get rid of the scanner guy, I use it. But I'm real tempted to dump the old laser printer and get a cheap Brother and be done with it. I don't print that much, so that laser cartridge will probably last me a long time. And just never print on the inkjet multi-purpose guy.

Wordpress question: if I now have two blogs, how do I separate between them so I'll be able to access both of them with different usernames and different passwords?
Do you mean completely separate blogs with different URLs and ne'er the twain shall meet? You'll need to install Wordpress twice in two different directories and two different databases.

But if you wanted to use Wordpress.com you just need to set up an account with a different email address.

That's what I thought. And did. And yet, it only allows me to access both of them with one username and one password.

Shit. I was worried about it. Any way to import everything into installment #2? I really worked hard on blog #2 (which is Hollaback Israel) yesterday, and I'd hate do everything from scratch today.
