Well that seems to have happened over the weekend with the […]

Why Stopping Toshiba's National No Print Day Worked, and Why it Shouldn't Have
10 days after the announcement of National No Print Day, Toshiba pulled the plug and victory celebrations broke out through The Printerverse. Victory is a strong word.
