[Thread drift - not much to do with telecoms, sorry] Yes - and in the UK retailers such as Tesco and Sainsbury's run successful "loyalty card" schemes. My wife and I are happy to let the Tesco marketeers know what we buy from them in return for a 1% discount. Ian - -- The Telecom Digest is currently robomoderated.

Are you in St. Louis and experienced with DOS, SCSI and Dialogic voice processing cards? I'll spend a few hundred dollars for your assistance in upgrading a PC based voice processing system that handles several thousand calls a week.

Since they hand out the cards on the spot, I always fill in bad information. If I run into one of these things in a store where I don't want to go to the bother, I forego the purchase. I also don't give them a card unless there is a discount involved. Discounts here are usually for specific items. I need to try giving them a UK address and phone number. Should wreck their computers, or freak out their databases. - -- The Telecom Digest is currently robomoderated.

The spirits speak In recent years there have been numerous claims by enthusiasts in several countries that they have recorded the voices or images of people who have died on tape or film. Most scientists remain unconvinced but the call is growing for them to at least take a look at the mounting evidence.
