If I may add my own rage to this: am I the only person who objects to a growing collection of empty inkjet (and laserjet) cartridges for which I have paid top "dollar" and which cannot be re-purposed to any practical use? It strikes me that the European Commission (is that their real name?) could invest their efforts in prosecuting the cartridge manufacturers and force them to refund buyers for the money they were compelled to fork out for the container to a couple of milligrams of ink? I have no doubt that the price of such container is orders of magnitude greater than that of the ink. Lucio. PS: I live in South Africa, so me being a EU citizen is not much help in pursuing such an issue with the EC. But if the idea gets a little traction where it can make a difference, I would gladly join in.
