It is good riddance. This company has shown a total disregard for the
U.S. market. They thought that consumers would put up with all of the
arrogant practices with:
	a) customer support systems
	b) supplier relations
	c) employee relations

I have seen more negative posts on the usenet groups about Canon than
Texaco, Newt and OJ combined. 

Now everyone needs to spread the word in the camera, copier and HP
(made by Canon) printer areas. It would be great to see an overstuffed
monster like Canon face the heat of the real users of their products.
They always hear how great they are from the politicians and economic
development people they surround themselves with. Maybe this could be
a wake up call for them. 

Or maybe it will be a wake up call to HP, Apple and IBM who buy much
of their printer products from Canon. 

Don't buy from Canon. Vote with your dollars, and tell the sales rep
why.
