Part of the reason you're missing a 'perfect storm' of outrage from outsourcing... randome Jun 2012 #16

India begs to differ about IT, especially on the low end. Zalatix Jun 2012 #17

LOL. Have you *seen* any recent newspapers? Romulox Jun 2012 #20

What's a 'newspaper'? randome Jun 2012 #27

Mine is over seas... AsahinaKimi Jun 2012 #26
