Printer Dissatisfaction

   A soldier in Iraq called HP to deal with a broken all-in-one printer. He was told he'd have to pay them in order to learn how to fix it. These are the subsequent events that follow...   This video was originally sent to HP directly in 2006. HP resolved the issue to the customer's satisfaction more than four years ago. HP also instituted a "no questions asked" technical support policy for all active duty soldiers and provides phone support at no charge even if the product is out of  warranty.

This policy remains in place  today. Regards, CEO Customer Relations.

I personally agree with the soldiers' actions. If he was instructed to call HP directly for support. HP should not have even blinked. The management of HP should have solved this on the spot. I know this video has cost them dearly.  No amount of Customer Relations can fix this. Even if they bought a new printer and personally took it to him. The system failed.  When the price of ink replacement costing more than the printers being produced, (unless you bought a high end model) it is NOT worth a tech support phone call. A new printer model comes out just about every six months or so - just get another one. Cheaper and less headaches in the long run. The trick is to make a printer that does not fail. Today products are designed to fail, so you keep coming back and buying more. I would rather support a company that believes doing it right, building it to last. I buy Canon printers myself.

Do you believe in Freedom?

I live in the United States of America, I am a proud citizen, I served in the United States Marine Corps. I believe and worship in GOD. My Freedom was not free, many Americans paid dearly for (your and my) freedom.

I have been told that 86% of Americans do the same. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having 'In GOD! We Trust' on our money and having 'GOD' in the Pledge of Allegiance. If Muslims can pray on Madison Avenue, why are Christians banned from praying in public and erecting religious displays on their holy days? What happened to our annual, National Day of Prayer?

Obama says we can't have that, yet Muslims are allowed to block off Madison Ave. in NewYork and pray in the middle of the street! And, it's a monthly ritual!

Tell me again, whose country is this? Ours or the Muslims? I believe it's time we stand up for what we believe... It is time that 86% of Americans in America have the same privilege as the other 14% of the people in America!

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE,
WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

Even in our Pledge of Allegiance we proclaim "LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL", So I ask "What is the problem?"


A Mother asked this President............ 'Why did my son have to die in Iraq?'

Another Mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Saudi Arabia?'

Another Mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Kuwait?'

Another Mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Vietnam?'

Another Mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Korea?'

Another Mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die on Iwo Jima?'

Another Mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in France?'

Another Mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?'

Another Mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die on a frozen field near Valley Forge?'

Then long, long ago, a Mother asked... 'Why Heavenly Father ... Why did my Son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem?'

The answer is always the same... 'So that others may live and dwell in peace, happiness, and freedom.' Yes our Freedom has a price it has been paid for down through the years. So that we ALL can pray as we desire. Do you believe in your Freedom?

CR1 Aeronca

When I can not fly my :Veronica"  Hobby Zone  model somewhere this is a great alternative.  What do you think?

RC LAB FUN

You all know by now that my 15 foot trailer is now home to my new addition "Veronica", she is a Hobby Zone beauty. A classic of all time. She is what is called a "Ultra Micro Model". She keeps her weight down to around 1 ounce. Which better than what I can do right now :).

I have found a new friend named Dylan, He is my contact at RC Lab Fun. Right off the bat you can tell he loves RC planes and flying. He has several model modifications for Veronica. He backs up a lot of what is on his site with You Tube videos and articles to get you grounded on the information you need to keep you flying and enjoying the hobby.  He does not have everything to rebuild Veronica if I have a 'Oops', but he has a lot of nice parts to help.  Below is a video showing how to add a 3 blade prop to one of Veronica's cousins. Dylan has 32 videos on his channel right now.
