    Logically, 0.002 cents per MB is unbelievable cheap.
    Actually, thats .002 cents per kilobyte they quoted him.

    I explained this over the phone to my gf and she got it immediately - it's hilarious how stupid BILLING people are! I mean, ****, it's their damned job.

    This is further proof that idiots just rely on computer system - being an MIS major I found this quote hilarious:

    "Sir, the computer calculates the charge"


    OOOH ****, my bad, the computer is calculating the charge - I am wrong, sorry for every doubting the computer. Only gods put equations into computers

    Also, no offense to the females on the board, but that lady is the kind of manager that peeves me - assertive "I am right you are wrong" yet truly does not understand what she's saying. "How would you express half of a cent..." "Um..., point...zero...zero...z....z.ero...five?" Argh! I am amazed at how calm he was for 22+ mins.
