Hello SHANNON,


 ST> Hello Ward,

-> The world's major producer of movies is, whether you like it or not, India.
-> Never heard of "Bollywood"?

 ST> I know about "Bollywood", but you are incorrect.  America has still
 ST> produced more, and have grossed considerably more than Bollywood.  How
 ST> many "Bollywood" movies do you think the "Pirates" torrent site had
 ST> available?  Doing a "google" search for Bollywood and Torrent, I
 ST> couldn't find any outside of India (specific) sites (which was my
 ST> point).

-> Micro$oft software is written in India and Pakistan.

 ST> Microsoft's software "TESTING" is contracted to a firm in India, but
 ST> the "DEVELOPMENT" still takes place in Seattle.  I know this because I
 ST> am and have been a beta tester for Microsoft since windows '2.0'.  
 ST> Although since NT 4.0, I've been a beta tester for the open consumer
 ST> demographic not the enterprise level stuff.  This is common knowledge
 ST> in the "IT" circles and financial markets.

-> Micro$oft, Earthlink and other helpdesks have first been relocated to
-> and are now in India. Is there a problem overthere? :-)
-> American culture?

 ST> It's called outsourcing, and it's very popular with large and small
 ST> companies alike.  It's part of the freedom of world culture.  Rather

 ST> we prefer a free
 ST> world marketplace.  This is most certainly off topic for this thread
 ST> though, and if you are that unfamiliar with our financial markets, I
 ST> "highly" recommend a basic course called American Economics (AE1001)
 ST> available online from most universities (although the name may differ
 ST> slightly from one univ to another).

Please don't insinuate that Ward is dumb. It might start a bickering
contest that you dislike so much.

 ST> And yes, that was a little condescending.  Your attempt at painting my
 ST> country in bad colors with something as foolishly ignorant as that is
 ST> quite ludicrous.  Perhaps I'm just starting to see who you really are
 ST> Ward.

Aw gee. Shannon's little feeling are hurt.

Bicker a bit and make it all better. Better yet, slap me round. You're
good at that.

Regards,
Frank
