Our Government Departments here have discovered that installing a voicemail system is a wonderful way of fobbing off those in need of their help. The Inland Revenue is world-famous in New Zealand (stolen from a local advertisment, sorry) for providing endless options that eventually dump you out into a disconnection - NO MATTER how carefully you pick your way. And to make sure you have use it, the locate your personal file at some town and office at the other end of the country. Us NZers tend to H A T E vociemail systems, accordingly. Having a tame duck or somesuch could be an excellent way to recapture the disaffected consumer for some organisations. Wonderful idea... :-))) * SLMR 2.1a * --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: === NZCC Maxie BBS. Ak, NZ +64 9 444-0989 === (3:772/1) .
