That's interesting, I didn't realise the built in cleaning routine was
useless; and I didn't realise replacement printheads were affordable.
Having said that, it doesn't help with the dodgy screens since the
'spare' would have the same problem.

I haven't had any pictures of your friend, but I have been sent photos
of the computers that Mr Ogodu can get for me at a terrific discount.

Now that does look like a bargain at any price.

Sadly, my friend has been arrested at the airport but the lovely Mr
Ogudo can obtain his release if we send enough money to bribe the
officials. Phew.

Mrs friend has remortgaged the house[1] and is transferring the money
this weekend. Thank heavens there is someone out there looking out for
our interests!

1. I know - this is the most unbelieveable part.

I heard some years ago of a nasty reverse 419 where the scammer was
persuaded to travel to Saudi Arabia to collect "his" money. When he got
there he was handed over to the authorities.
