'Tech support' is a joke. > <tongueincheek> What!! You don't think that "english as a second language" speaking persons who can follow a script qualify as tech support? Shame on you for not having sympathy for those poor wretches who only receive pennies per hour compared to our US employees who receive $ per hour. They have to earn a living, and our poor companies cannot afford to pay local wages for persons who use english as a native language. Your $ are spent propping up 2 entities and it does not matter if you, the customer who pays everyones salaries, are inconvenienced. Have a little bit of understanding here. :-)) </tongueincheek> In reality I understand completely and I try to vote with my $ for those who provide worthwhile tech support with no language or knowledge barrier.
