reggie [email] said at 2:21 PM 07-30-2004: Well see that's why I hate 'em. Okay, maybe hate is too strong a word. It's just weird. Though I will admit talking to a machine is decidedly better than talking to someone living in Bangladesh who barely speaks English. Stoopid outsourcing... (Whoa do I sound racist or what?) It's just that I don't talk much and when I do I'd rather do it to an actual person, that's all. I don't even like answering machines.
