   Bought a cheap laser printer a while ago. Today, bought toner cartridges, $100 a pop! I point at the boxes and tell the clerk "Razor blades..." The clerk calls his colleague: "Where do we keep the personal care products?" #TheseKidsToday. I must be a #duffer.

      @bobjonkman  The expensive laser printers also have $100+ toner, but they do last a long time.

      @bobjonkman That business model is even more in evidence if you buy a cheap inkjet printer. Cartridges usually over $30, and used or unused, stop working a month after you put them in.
