Herb’s Blog, Herbdate 22179 – 749:
The printer is very important for what my wife does. It’s an Epson ET-2750 and is supposed to support borderless printing and in fact, worked well for a long time. We liked that instead of cartridges it uses ink tanks. Suddenly having all sorts of trouble with borderless printing. So I called the number on their website. After 3 hours 37 minutes and 9 seconds on the phone, I found out that my printer doesn’t work.
I felt quite like Arthur Dent waiting in various phone queues. In fact at one point as I doggedly pushed through I told my wife, “I’m getting good at this waiting in line business. I should have been born British.”
I will tell you more about it at a different time but I have to leave for work soon, now. Since I’ll be working until 11:30 tonight I doubt I’ll finish anything worth reading. Plus, there are several blogs I want to visit on my regular rounds.
Sorry, but them’s the haps with Herb.

In instances such as this, I’m tempted to say, “Thank you Captain Obvious.”
I know. It’s usually a frustrating experience.
Oh my yes.
It was aggravating.
No apologies needed. I love talking to the internet people too.
Thank you.
A bold claim about your queuing credentials. It’s the big leagues over here my friend. Still, I admire your confidence and I’m going to give you a shot. You are going to need to work on your tutting though – don’t even think about entering a British queue without an accomplished tut in your locker.
Alas, I have few tutting skills. I went searching for a cutting tutorial and found out it has something to do with hip-hop dancing.
I meant to ask why you didn’t tut the fellow you were behind in line the other day.
I almost punched him but I couldn’t bring myself to tut him. My daughter was there and it’s important to set a good example
I am learning so much from you, James. Punching is better than tutting? Who’d’a thunk it?
You can physically recover from being punched but the mental scars of a tut are with you forever
Wow. Who knew? Well, obviously James did, but I would have never guessed.
I shall stand in the queue awaiting your next posting.
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
I really really really hate printers. I feel like they happily hate me in return too.
They get it in for you. They hate it when you make them work.
Technical difficulties are so scary because there is no chance you can persuade the machine to cooperate.
I wanted to use ball peen technology.
