This is funny

Well, I've had my new Axim base model for about a week, and I love it - the size (much smaller than I expected!), the feel, the look, the screen. So, I emailed Dell customer care (U.S., though I am in Canada) and told them how much I like my new Axim, and congratulated them on making such a nice product. I thought they would appreciate hearing this, since all they probably get is complaints. Here is the response I received:

"Dear Mr. Murray;

They probably get so few that actually email when there is something positive to say that they assumed you were being sarcastic :)

Haha, I wasn't, honest! I have just replied to their response, and told them they are more paranoid than I am, and that's not good! :)

it's typical of Dell...a company that so expects reasonable people to not be happy with their horendous customer service...you might wanna save that...that's gonna be Dells response to anything you might need in the future
