I've spent many hours talking to Indian call-center workers and have never 
failed to be impressed by their limitless patience and politeness.  They 
extend a level of courtesy that I never experience from fellow Americans.  I 
am ever more pissed off by the rickety Microsoft software that necessitates 
these calls, but I must say I always enjoy talking to the call-center 
workers themselves.
