I don't speak German, but I can see she is a very, very good looking woman, and I hope she will bring us a new round of HP calculators shaped as Voyagers!

Hi, Luis;

Carly is at HP for a long time (is it more than four years? I'm not sure...). And she did not bring us, HP users, the "good news" we expected....

The problem is that HP's ink cartridges (Inkjet printers) are some of the most expensive liquids in the world (~ 1700 Euro per liter), compared only to the most expensive champaings and Chanel parfum.

There's more about the need of buying original cartridges, and the fact that if you buy two new color cartriges you'd pay about the price of a new printer.

And there's more. BTW, I don't speak German as well (but I'm still studying...) and I must confess I used Alta-vista's Babel fish translator... Shame on me!

About Carly being a beautiful woman... that's another story.

Cheers.

Luiz (Brazil)
