    Re: The creation of a new copier

    Overheard at a design engineer meeting at Konica Minolta...

    Bob... Ray, we were looking at the new design and noticed you can remove the toner system by only removing 8 screws.
    Ray... Damn Bob, I don't know how that happened, I will take care of that.
    Bob...Get Joe in here. He is a genius at overlapping panels and covers. He did the Bizhub 420/500 design. You almost have to gut the whole machine to change anything.
    Ray...Ha, Ha, Ha, I laugh every time I picture one of those old copy techs on the floor cussing about how the machine is designed.
    Bob...Yep, good times, ha, ha.

        HAHAHA. Pure gold, although I've never worked one one of those machines, I feel the pain.

            Overheard at a design engineer meeting at Lexmark

            Fred : "I have noticed that the drums and transfer belt on a Lexmark X940 are so simple to replace the engineer may soon get bored with this one."

            Bill (The designer) : "Yes we are aware of that so to change the developers requires 3 chapters of the service manual and guarantees a layer of spilt toner on the customers carpet, this can lead to two different results. Firstly changing the devs fixes the problem, secondly the problem is not fixed either way the customer has spilt toner on their carpet. This has the added benefit of the engineer improving their customer handling techniques."
