Howard, That is the funny thing... The customers is in Europa and sadly, they are unhappy too, not because the mainframe is moving to the US, but because the salesman is fluent Nordic / Polish / English / Spanish, but the moment he has to phone the helpdesk for support on his credit card machine... he could get someone from any of those languages on the line, and it might not match his language, he might be asked to repeat / spell his name 3 times during the conversation... So in the end he leaves, enticed by the next sales-man, ends up in a similar situation as before... and the wheel keeps on turning...
