Amy phones an Indian man
Tonight Amy's CD-rom drive decided to quit working and sit on the couch all day collecting welfare. Upon realizing she had to call tech support, she had this to say to me online:
Amy: it might be too late to call
Henry: to call me or to call an indian man?
Amy: (pause, as she calls tech support) fuuuuuck he's Indian
Amy: fuck fuck fuck!
And Amy's the more politically correct of the two of us. Just goes to show you that when cutting through a multi-layered onion of a computer problem, nobody wants to have to deal with the language barrier, too.
No offense, Indian people. You guys are great. ALL OF YOU.
(sleep.)
I mean it.

Luckily, that was Office Depot's customer support.
Sony, not really knowing much about anything, just takes calls and lets you send in your computer instead of running you through the "is it plugged in?" "is it turned on?" "is there a CD in the computer?" rigamarole.
I believe that this is a good thing -- because I don't like having to explain away why something isn't a software issue.
