A brief recap, for people who don’t want to read all of my blog postings about this problem: My HP C5280 printer doesn’t print photos properly. HP has sent me two replacement printers and four or five replacement ink cartridges, none of which have solved the problem. I have wasted around seven hours of my… Read More »
In August 2007, I bought an HP PhotoSmart C5280 that wouldn’t work with my Mac, because HP shipped buggy software and didn’t bother to actually tell anyone, and I had to jump through ridiculous hoops to find and install the fixed software.

What kind of idiot designs a phone so that when it updates your clock for daylight saving time at two in the morning, it lets out a loud chime to let you know about it?! Did I really need to be woken up at two in the morning because my phone was so proud of… Read More »

The Perkins School for the Blind used to be on the list of charitable organizations which my wife and I support. At some point I donated to them on-line through their Web site, providing my email address at that time so that they could send a receipt via email. They subsequently used that address to… Read More »
In my ongoing quest to find a brick-and-mortar or Web merchant from which I can easily and conveniently buy Levi’s jeans in my size, I decided to try going right to the source: www.levisstore.com.
My loyal readers may recall my previous complaint about HP’s bungled attempt to support the Mac with its C5280 all-in-one printer. Unfortunately, my difficulties with this printer didn’t end there. Below is the letter I recently sent to HP’s CEO about the ongoing saga of my attempt to completely the presumably simple task of purchasing… Read More »
