I used that ploy on them (accurate at the time, though not today) and I know others have too. [Snip] > Eventually I had to tell them that I used RISC OS I have told them that at the start, when I wanted to annoy them rather than keep them hanging on, and it always confuses them. They kept on assuming that it was MacOS or Linux, and kept asking which one. Next time perhaps I should say Commodore or Atari. Another thought I just had; when they ask you to download something, tell them you are on dialup and ask then for a credit card number that you can charge the cost of the call to. No doubt they have plenty of stolen card data at their fingertips. > up on Google -- Russell http://www.russell-hafter-holidays.co.uk Russell Hafter Holidays E-mail to enquiries at our domain Need a hotel? <http://www.hrs.com/?client=en__blue&customerId=416873103>
