I was watching a PBS program on Global Economy and they showed CS reps in India using made up American names like Tracy and Megan. I'll bet that was no TRACY!!!!

:D
Glad it made your day , though. It is the little things, right.

I guess with a southern accent...

I heard that they are trained in India at the call centres to have no accents to Americans.


LOL, at the thought of some guy in India with a Texan drawl.

We met with a company in New York (Computer Generated Solutions) and their CEO said that they do about half of Dell's tech support and they outsource 3/4 of their calls to India.
