Quite a bit more costly than ink. While I appreciate your analogy, a gallon of gold would be worth somewhere along the order of $2M. Quite a bit more costly than ink.

I forget the model but the printer was priced at $29. I was looking at them when a man came over, popped the cover off one they had opened for display, and extracted a cartridge. "Yes!" he said. "These are the retail-capacity cartridges! Sixty dollars worth of ink here!" He loaded three printers into his basket.

But in theory, it was a hell of a lot cheaper page per page. For anyone that has ever tried refilling their own, again, nice in theory, but ends up being more trouble than it's worth... They've got us by the balls. Kodak had a printer I bought that was supposed to have really cheap ink, and it did, but problem is the printer sucked and I had to send it back to them.

Once-durable investments like printers are eventually going to end up like disposable cameras. Print 250 pages and throw the whole thing away. I wonder what Big Brown's semen would have fetched if he had finished at the other end of the order yesterday? The math is too icky to calculate.
