Hi,

Or from another point of view, good on them for improving the employment opportunities for Indians.

I just finished reading a terrific book called Q and A by Vikas Swarup and it has left me feeling rather sympathetic.

I wonder what Apple sales are like in India?

Cheers

And what happened to the jobs of those at the Australian call centre? Apple did the same thing to TAC (who service techs call for help). There were some great guys in there who were very knowledgeable and helpful :-(

Its great that some Indians have work, but hopefully those who lost their jobs when all these call centres closed here have found work again. From what I have read, this is also happening in the US. And not only call centre work - programming and general tech jobs too. All to make that bottom line look better for the next day's trading on the NASDAQ ;-)

Let's hope those who did lose their jobs found work again.

Rod!
