I also tell them that I am taping the entire conversation (which is true) and that, if they have any problem with that, they'd better get someone competent on the line pronto.

I am not a fun person to be around when the people who are supposed to be providing support for a product don't know any more (and sometimes less) about the product than I do.

Scrach that .... I'm just not a fun person to be around generally.
Ah - but RM, try doing all that via textphone ..... although a textphone does automatically save the conversation - plus all the spelling mistakes .....
