Canon
Try and wrap your head around this as I'm still having problems with it.

While trying to find a driver for a Canon camcorder I discover that the Canon support website only supply driver updates and not the original drivers. (ie you have to install the driver that came with the device then download and install the driver update) If you have lost the cd that came with the device you have to go to a different company's website and order the manual for the device to be posted to you, if you're lucky then the driver cd comes with the manual. Not only that, if they don't have a copy of the manual they can print one out for you and send it. Oh yeah they charge for this service.

So it loks like Canon has created a company soley to sell a service that almost every other electronics company provides for free.

Clever.


(post note. I have related this to the Finances department and requested that all further purchases of Cannon electronic goods be barred, being the sole IT guy in this school my word carries a little weight)

Does Canon know
there's a shit company operating in the same field as them with a very similar name?

The incorrect spelling of Canon here has rather amused me
As now it seems that you're attempting (and failing miserably) to attach a medieval weapon to your PC, and wondering why it's not working.

I thought you were being a moron but I just checked and you're right
Are you sure they're really update-only and not just badly named?
