Start talking about dinner. You know, a thick juicy steak. And don't forget to mention how comfy your LEATHER chair is.

Guaranteed to get you top notch tech support.

EXCELLENT! A co-worker has the unfortunate problem of being from India and a vegetarian and unique spiritual beliefs. This is in Texas and he gets "ribbed" constantly.

Another "secret" is the telecom industry export of similar IT stuff so Haji gets exposure to all kinds of nice tech stuff that "might" be harmful later AND a LOT of control systems are made in America by Haji's(H1-B's?) in Houston....seen 'em, dealt with 'em.

I make a mental note of each company with obvious "English as a second language" folks on support lines and "sales calls". THEY should note that I make a huge effort never to buy THEIR stuff again.

I'll forward this thread to ALL of my IT and CS friends so they know how to make Haji feel loved if he shows up on their phones....
