Perfectly Awful: The Philadelphia 76ers' Horrendous and Hilarious 1972-1973 SeasonDuring the 1972 1973 basketball season, the Philadelphia 76ers were not just a bad team; they were fantastically awful. Doomed from the start after losing their leading scorer and rebounder, Billy Cunningham, as well as head coach Jack Ramsay, they lost twenty one of their first twenty three games.

During the 1972-1973 basketball season, the Philadelphia 76ers were not just a bad team; they were fantastically awful. Doomed from the start after losing their leading scorer and rebounder, Billy Cunningham, as well as head coach Jack Ramsay, they lost twenty-one of their first twenty-three games. A Philadelphia newspaper began calling them the Seventy Sickers, and they duly lost their last thirteen games on their way to a not-yet-broken record of nine wins and seventy-three losses.Charley Rosen recaptures the futility of that season through the firsthand accounts of players, participants, and observers. Although the team was uniformly bad, there were still many memorable moments, and the lore surrounding the team is legendary. Once, when head coach Roy Rubin tried to substitute John Q. Trapp out of a game, Trapp refused and told Rubin to look behind the team's bench, whereby one of Trapp's friends supposedly opened his jacket to show his handgun. With only four wins at the All-Star break, Rubin was fired and replaced by player-coach Kevin Loughery.
In addition to chronicling the 76ers' woes, Perfectly Awful also captures the drama, culture, and attitude of the NBA in an era when many white fans believed that the league had too many black players.

18 months and going strong
Style: ET-5150, Set: ET PRO FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN, Style: ET-5150, Set: ET PRO FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
Edit 1/18/26: 2 years in, and I just topped off the ink. I used the extra bottle of black that came with it, and bought a set of color ink for the first time. Love it.
Original: I’ve had this printer for 18 months and love it. I haven’t even had to refill the ink yet! I print a fair amount, not constantly, but I homeschool and print things for church and scouts also. I’m able to connect easily from my Windows laptop, Mac desktop, and iPhone. Automatic double sided printing is great. Color printing is good quality. Printing on card stock can get jammed, but there’s a rear bypass for that. It’s annoying that you have to do a single sheet at a time, but oh well. Copying and scanning is handy.

The Perfect Printer
Style: ET-5150, Set: ET PRO FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
This is the perfect printer! I love the paper loading tray that holds a ton of paper, and the sophisticated scanning hinge AND THE TOUCHSCREEN! Other printer's I have owned have had the weirdest buttons, but this is so clear and easy to use. We were replacing a broken black and white printer and upgraded to a color printer. We had an eco tank before (LOVE THEM!) so we knew we wanted an eco tank printer again. Honestly I cannot find a single downside of this printer. For Mac users, know that the CD that comes with it is unnecessary :) Just go online per the instructions to grab the Epson software and you'll be set! Full context: My husband and I are small business owners and we love having an in-home printer!

Great Investment Printer
Style: ET-5850, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
This is a great overall printer, especially for a home office or small business setup. It prints quickly, handles everyday documents with ease, and the EcoTank system is very convenient and cost-effective over time.
Honestly, it could even hold its own in a regular office environment because of how efficient and fast it is. It is also easy to connect to from a phone, laptop or computer. It was compatible with all the devices and computers in my household, even those with Windows 10.
That said, if your main goal is printing high-quality photos, this wouldn’t be the best option Epson offers. Photo quality is decent, but not exceptional. If photo printing is important to you, I would recommend looking into the Epson 8550 instead.
Overall, a solid, reliable printer for everyday use—just not the top choice for photo-focused needs.

Excellent Epson, worth the investment!
Style: ET-5800, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
First, this is a big printer so double check the measurement specs before purchasing if space is an issue.
First impressions: very well built, especially comparing to ET versions such as the ET-4800 ( see my review on that one for details).
This is a sturdy printer, you can feel it when you lift the scanning bed, pull out the paper trays, etc.
Printing quality: excellent right out of the box. I didn’t need to do an extensive alignment or cleaning during setup, everything printed perfectly and was photo quality.
Setup was easy. Although it has a fax feature, I don’t use that so I didn’t need to set it up.
Printing: using the rear paper trays, it prints on 100lb card stock very easily. I recommend only loading a few pages at a time to avoid any issues. I loaded 5 pages and made prints without any issues.
65 lb card stock was also easy to print on using the back paper feed tray and I loaded 8 sheets without an issue but know it could probably handle a few more. Just remember that the thicker the paper the more chance of having it jam with multiple sheets in the rear paper try. AND, only use the rear tray feed for cardstock or other thick paper.
The actual paper tray drawers, there are two and you can set them up for different sizes and types of paper, very convenient.
Now the cool detail: most printers have a flimsy plastic slide tray to catch the prints as they come out of the printer. Not this one. This has a really amazing tray catch that comes out of the printer automatically (it is motorized), and when you are done there is a little illuminated icon on the screen that looks like the printer, you press it and the tray retracts. Pretty cool detail.
The screen: very easy to use and you can actually see it, unlike the postage stamp size screen they used in the ET-4800. All features are very easy to find and select and the icons are illuminated. Using this screen, setup was very easy.
Ink: again a very good feature and very well thought out. The bottles are keyed so they fit in the receptacle. Simply unscrew the cap, tip them over (they won’t spill or leak) and place them in the correct color, the bottles automatically fill the tank. When done filling, remove the bottle and put the cap back on, again they won’t spill or leak because they have a mechanism that prevents it from doing so.
Overall: excellent printer, expensive but over time the ink savings alone help ease the sticker price. It is heavy and sturdy, has wireless capability so you can put it anywhere and print with ease connected to your wireless network, has the ability to print from android and IPhone with an app, and it has amazing prints.
This is one printer I highly recommend.

No more expensive ink cartridges
Style: ET-5800, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
Great printer. I am sick and tired of HP giving me problems with their ink cartridges. I discarded my HP office Jet and replaced it with this Epson printer. Easy to set up. Came with two sets of ink bottles. Easy and clean to fill tanks with ink. The screen on my old HP Office Jet printer was so small and difficult to use. This Epson printer has a very large LCD screen which can tilt if you want and very easy to use. Separate paper trays for letter and legal or other sizes. Print, scan and fax. Connect via cable or WiFi. I wish I had purchased this sooner.
