Batting 1,000 …

As a replacement for my Epson printer, I picked up a low-cost Canon Pixma IP3500.  Runs nice, makes all kind of appropriate noises ... but ink never reaches the paper.  Taking it back to replace it.  Between the purchases of clothes, food and technology, I run into more terrible quality control.  I seem to spend more time returning things in our modern society than I do actually using them.  Thus I refute mass-production and globalization.  It simply doesn’t work.  We’d save huge gobs of energy if things were done right in the first place using ... what would we call it today ... “slow production”?

I know, I know ... crab, crab, crab.  It’s one of those days.
