If I worked for HP and saw this thread, I would say that the reason for the expiration, is that the ink starts to clog up over time and HP was getting a lot of clogged and damaged heads because of this. So really, by making the ink cartridges expire, they are saving the consumer from an expensive repair job.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High: Jennifer Jason Leigh's character, Stacy, is a minor (17 I believe). Takes off her shirt in the baseball dugout to finally 'do it' with "Ron Johnson". This can hardly be considered child pornography. I believe under this act, it would be. Unless it is on TNT and isn't actually watched by anyone since the censors pretty much took out everything.
Friend one - buys G3 (literaly) one week before the G4 comes out. He is paid actual money to edit actual comercials that go on TV (not weddings) No hardware cards for video. M-Audio Card for true multi-track audio editing (not a SB Live)
Friend two - Soyo Dragon Plus with AMD 1700+
Friend three - P4, Can't get Aardvark card he wants because no Win 2K drivers. Doesn't edit video but I guarantee if you live off editing (not DivXing DVDs) you need a hardware card.
The G3 edits DV better than the PCs.
I have worked on Apple-based Avids & Final Cut Pros, Media 100s (Hardware based so computer doesn't count in my book), Pinnacle Reeltime card in a PC & Premiere 6, and Discreet Edit on a PC (with a proprietary card). Hands down the Apples have always performed better. If you don't need the performance in a specific way, then stick with what you like. But please don't spread some BS about how your Dell edits video better before you put a $1000 card in it. It just isn't true.
These PC vs Mac topics are quite fun to read. I put this in the same catagory as the AT7 topic - people complaining about a product they don't want, let alone need.
With virus scanners and other programs set to check for updates automatically, email programs set to check for new mail every X minutes, not to mention the little leaks from programs with the potential like Kazaa, I would think it would be a little like all the electricity that trickles into all the appliances in the modern home when they are "off". How much "wasted" bandwidth would the average user lose in say a year? I guess I will have to start remebering to turn off the light/computer when I leave the room.

And if you did, you would rather get one on a Mac platform rather than an NT box. Trust me.
