  1. Why is everyone against REAL in this by fozzmeister · · Score: 1, Troll

    Sure in the past they have been pretty crappy, but its cheaper and the files themselves are better quality, It's just religious Mac users.

    I wonder if Mac users take offence at clone inket refills in the same way, or buy genuine Epson, HP or Lexmark cartridges. It really is exactly the same thing.
