Indeed!   That's no way to run a business.  The *proper* response from them
would have been some thing like this:
"Since we have a $20 minimum on orders of this sort, we are sending you the
quantity you asked for as a sample. Do let us know how it works out for you."

I hope that Katie Ash can bring this to the attention of the folks who set their
policies and will be allowed some changes in the future.

YES! I'll be happy to participate in such a group buy.  

Is this the supplier of the most appropriate ink? I seem to remember another
source of *genuine* teletype ink mentioned on the list. Lets go that route
instead so we get the stuff that will work right and last longer.
