When I bought my MacBook Pro I also bought a printer. They gave me a discount - it was only $40 after the rebate (and thinking about it, I haven't received the check yet). Anyways, I was really drunk when I went to put the ink cartriges in. They would not seat. I figured I broke the mechanism so I brought it in. The 'genius' couldn't get it to seat either. In the end, it turns out that the ink cartrige actually seats on its back - unlike every other damn printer I have owned. The 'genius' didn't know this either but I did get a replacement for my perfectly good printer. Once you go mac you will never go back. (except for that titanium I bought in 2001 that died when some board burnt out in 2002 right after the rebate expired.) I went to the genius bar once.
