After dealing with the Apple phone robot on 133622...

Apple Support: Hello, this is (Indian name given). What is your name?
Me: Vlad James
Apple Support: How do you spell your first name?
Me: My first name is Vladimir, V-l-a-d-i-m-i-r.

Have you sent this report to Apple? Not apple.india.answering.robot but to apple.aust or even apple.steve?
That sort of response is ridiculous.

As an aside, I listened to Elaine, my better 0.5 responding to a telemarketing call last week whilst we were at our son's home in Albany. The Indian caller couldn't get past the first question. Elaine kept responding with "Oh my God, thank goodness someone has answered. I need to be connected to my daughter's number and I've been trying to get through all night! You are wonderful. Would you please connect me to 08 9************."

Eventually the caller from the subcontinent hung up on her! Poor attitude indeed :-)
