Aside - KQA's annual quiz on speculative fiction, 'Chronosynclastic
Infundibulum' is on this Saturday (2pm at IAT, Queens Road). Since the
interest in SFF is higher on this group than outside, I humbly suggest
that you all teleport your selves to the quiz

Let us just say that, living in india so that my phone tech support would
invariably come from bangalore ..
I don't care if my support comes from a call center stateside or in europe
instead, for some things at least - like bank loans - I prefer to have clear
