Comments on: Dell waves goodbye to 1100 Canadians

Duuuudde, you've been Dell'd

Good riddance.

With Dell's reputation on par with eMachine's and Packard Bell, we don't need to support such a low end crap peddler. Better to send the jobs to India and not be associated with such wankers.

So long Dell

It was so nice to be able to call support and speak to another Canadian, if I have to listen to some one in India reading a check list (yes it's plugged in) I might as well buy HP.

I guess now they can call it F*ck Dell day. I sure hope the government didn't give Dell some "tax incentives" to park their call centre in Ottawa. If they did I'd be inclined to ask for them back.

Closed because...

If anyone in Ottawa didn't see this coming after they shut down Edmonton. they should give their head a shake.

Farewell to major sales

After the hyped arrival is the rather underhyped departure. Remind me where it's said that Big Companies care about anything that does not relate to the profit margin? They will have taken into consideration that this will not help Dell's sales in Canada: that's dozens of orders just thrown out the window.

Still, as the Indians (in India, not First Nations) get paid more and more, maybe the jobs will return...

The Canadian dollar is strong

Dull-holes (should think of dill-holes). I have myself never bought a Dull but I have had the pleasure of working with tech support based in Canada - always great to deal with people who don't clutch scripts when speaking. Dull sucks and I hope this helps them sink further into their well deserved oblivion.
