ORIGINAL: Moonhead The Samsung mono laser I'm using at the moment has outlived the 24" iMac I bought at the same time. Mind you, that was Chinese as well... Pretty much everything technology related is these days. The Chinese (and a few other Asian countries) don't bother so much with those tiresome Health & Safety laws, plus they pay their people buttons, so they can make stuff much more cheaply. It's got to the point now where ink jets like my Canon are sold at a loss on the machine, clawing back the money on the consumables like the ink cartridges. And yet the build quality is amazing*. * tenner says my printer bails in the next day
