FYI  in may 2002 94% of a major computer company's (with local intrest) 
consumer tech support was done in Indea.  They soon relized that US employees 
have more of there intrest at heart and that they could bring the jobs back 
for the same amount of money so that is what they are doing.  They are 
currently hireing 90 part time techs.(Unfortunately all they use right now is 
m$ but hopefully that will change and my feet will be on solid ground with 
the company.  

P.S. Email me if you want to know the answers to the W questions.
