This is true for just about everything. Things haven't gotten crappier, per se, just cheaper. We expect more from cheaper products for some reason.
Except I bought the printer for $300, and its suppose to be the top of the line solution, designed for heavy printing.
But hey, you can put anything on the box these days, companies are not responsible for anything they write on the box!
