You want a real kick, last November HP raised the price of the Canon toner
cartridge for the Laserjet, which is the same cartridge as the Laserwriter
uses.  So if you go into the computer store for a new cartridge, and buy an
HP cartridge, it'll cost you about $10 more for the exact same item than if
you bought the cartridge from Apple.

And the place where I bought my last cartridge had the nerve to say "I don't
understand why Apple didn't raise their price, too..."
