I hope not… I mean, unless they were forced to do it then it would be a cruel monopoly…

I’m pretty sure any other company will take advantage of the situation and extend their warranty period.

Funny how one company does something to pinch a few pennies and all the rest jump on. Remeber when a can of coffee was 1 lb? Now it’s shrunk down to about 12 oz. All kinds of other products do the same. Keep the same price but cut back on what they provide.

isn’t that just the nature of competition?   :smileyvery-happy:  but it does **bleep** that coffee went from a pound to 12 ozs for the same price.

I say that because java joe is my hero…
