1. Another reason I am glad
I buy my computer printers based on the popularity of their ink cartridges.

I can buy replacement cartridges at any Walgreen's or even at many large supermarkets.

I will miss my local Office Depot, however.

2. Not many offices to supply anymore.
OfficeMax by me looks really different inside. Maybe because they have less stock, it looks bigger. Had to do an ink run yesterday.

3. It's nice having a local supply, but there are alternatives
I've been buying ink and paper from Atlex (www.atlex.com) for my photo printers for years now. They're fast, reliable, and have great prices.

5. I prefer Dunder-Mifflin myself
It's a little more expensive, but the customer service is great. ;)

6. I live not too far from Scranton

I like how they have a lot of set dressing that would actually be in an office in that area. The Froggy 101 bumper stickers (I've actually listened to this station when driving through the area), the Wegmans cereal boxes in the break room, the "W" (Wegmans again) pop/soda, and more, set the tone perfectly.
