Don't always believe what you read

I have an HP all-in-one colour printer... the kind that scans, copies, and prints.

Last June, it warned me that my black ink was running low. I immediately went out and bought another cartridge so that I would be prepared.

I kept using the old cartridge, expecting it to run out any day. It worked just fine. The "ink low!" warning popped up on my screen a few more times. In July.... then in August.... then in September.... then in October....

Well guess what? Tomorrow is November. And guess what else? I'm still using that same cartridge that was "running low" in June.

That makes HP either a liar, or an alarmist. Either way... it's not a very nice thing to be.
