I, in fact, did.
Told them they're no different than the callers from Microsloth that need to remove a virus from my computer. They keep playing "I didn't know" - so, a screen shot, then a link - and of course I don't expect any results.
Along the way, after she read the items, I noted that really nothing I hear from GoDaddy cannot be taken as a lie. Oddly enough, I believe I got the tech on my side. If she was telling the truth, the assholes not only blindside customers but blindside their own tech support. Or just another liar.
As a number of other domain start to expire they will all be moving. Even if it cost a bit more for the same services I used to have (although apparently it's less). Voting with my feet (or in this case, wallet).

What, are you saying that there's a US corporation that you can't implicitly and totally trust to treat you with fairness and honour?

... I've just bought a colour laser.
Every time I try to use it, the heads are dry - I must have poured more ink through it cleaning the heads and trying to get all jest working than actually went on paper where I wanted.
And now to cap it all, it's randomly spraying cyan on every print (even monochrome) and not printing it on the damn page where I want it.
Probably my own fault - I don't print often enough - but sod it, lasers don't have that problem (and the "starter toner" pack should last me a few years at the rate I print anyway 700 pages K and 500 CYM). I haven't bought a new ream of paper in three years and there is a good half of it left!
Anyone here found inkjets as much of a hassle as I have?

You should be able to remove the heads and soak them in some cleaning stuff (lots of google hits on what to do and how to do it). I also wrote this article:

Hardware problem I think - even if you are printing white space it's spraying a fine cyan background splatter. At a guess the cyan channel is getting a low induced or leaked voltage from the others and it's enough to cause nano-droplet ejection.
It's an Epson, so it's a shared wall piezo channel for each head and droplet, and they can get weird when they start to fail - I used to design industrial inkjet printers using SW PZT and they are funny little buggers.

I used to be annoyed at HP for having the heads built into the cartridge. I refill* them and they last a good long time, but none the less, it's a lot of money for two-fingers of ink.
So I hand one with cheap cartridges (Brother) and a built-in head. Great - until the head died. Then I discovered how much it cost to replace . . . HP isn't so bad, after all.
I do the 90% isopropyl alcohol to clean them if they get a bit lame from lack-of-use, but buy and large, it works out even, either way (and probably designed to, maybe include laserjets in that equation, as well).
Almost all my personal printing is done to a .pdf file - harder to lose/spill coffee on. Never out of ink.
* Mrs. Wife thought it would make a good xerox machine. Filling black, myself, cost about $US 1.50 and that made it pretty thrifty - although those days have thankfully passed.

i switched to laser many years ago when I figured the reason inkjets were so cheap is because the cartridges were so expensive and as you say if you don't use them very often they are a PITA.
