There is one way to put a stop to this stuff.. Don't buy their stuff.
The only way these corporations that are destroying America are going to listen is when their sales revenue drops off of a cliff. Take for instance this article I wrote about Goldman Sachs this morning. http://keepamericaatwork.com/?p=6958 Slowly but surely, more and more Americans are realizing that it is up to them to reign in those that are raping and pillaging America Virgil Bierschwale http://www.VetsFIndingVets.org http://www.KeepAmericaAtWork.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Wendt Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 9:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NF] US based Telephone Support Hey Pete - I totally hear ya... For my AlienWare computer - ALL support (Tech, Sales, Financial) - is ALL located in like South America. I forget the exact location. And almost every time I get people on the phone who sound like clueless idiots. And, owning this Alienware Laptop has been the worst HW ownership fiasco ever! I sent it back to them TWICE already - and they could never fix all the problems - and claimed I should send it back again - at which point I said I wanted to get rid of it - and can't they swap me for a Dell (since Dell owns them now). They claimed they are not directly linked, so its not possible - and, besides - I've had the laptop for over a year now - and there's nothing they can do (like refunding $$$) - except for me to send it in for repairs again (at which point they would WIPE the whole system again - without ACTUALY fixing the heart of the problems)! As for Virgin Mobil - I have one also - kinda my pay-as-you-go backup phone. I tried calling them several times - and those people on the phone sounded like MORE Idiots than the Alienware support people. Plus - they are in some massive room with Shitloads of other people and its HORRIBLY Noisy - I could barely hear them on the phone cause of the background noise - and I would keep demanding they repeat what they said... I sure HATE calling Tech support! Oh - by the way - I think this thread should have been posted in [OT] - since its kinda too far off topic - and only relates in regards to mentioned Gateway. But, that just my opinion - and along with $2.50 I can get on a subway in NYC! :-) -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pete Theisen Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 12:02 AM Hi Everybody, Gateway came up at the top of the search. Doesn't look like any cell phone services are supported in the US... I had occasion to call Gateway a while ago... But today when my Virgin Mobil service gummed up, the phone team turned out to be in the Philippines... -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/f167b4d3c64b47ab99a830ee8586b...@stanpc ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
