  Tossed one I got for free myself, just because of this.  Of course 
wishing I had it for the class action and ink tests now..

  Most people aren't so technically inclined as to be able to take out 
the head and put it back.  There just about has to be a solvent that 
would clean these out without too much extra work and leave it useable.  
Plus only have to get the black head working for what we need anyway, 
not much care about the other colors.
