Re: [APML] Epson 785EPX, 820 & C60
Hi Mike:
I've pretty much given up on my local CompUSA for computer supplies: very
limited coverage (eg, ink cartridges), salespeople who don't know their own
stock, etc. I get my ink cartridges (for a now obsolete Epson) from my local
Office Depot or by phone from PC Connection. I don't think CompUSA is
representative of availability of supplies.
