Paul - I think that WAS the original problem. Now, I think the problem is they keep writing articles about it and others the factories aren't currently hyping, calling them "dead cartridges".

So, anyone who is relatively young and attracted by the logic of the cartridge, if they have limited bucks to spend, is scared off.

Maybe most don't want to risk being stuck with something that is "dead" in case they ever have to sell, or want to trade. Or maybe they suspect it is "dead" because it isn't any good. (They haven't been around long enough to learn just how deceptive the marketing world is........?)

Or, maybe that's just my opinion.
