    I used to enjoy playing games with them, like asking which virus or for which platform or just telling them off. But you have to realize you're talking to some poor schmuck maybe in Bangladesh who's probably getting a dollar a day for doing this, is reading from a script, and doesn't begin to know enough to even make it interesting, and it's just not fun. Now I just say that's very odd because I don't own a computer.
