Since you came from France, they should have answered to you in french.

You should have asked where he was physically located.

In the dying days of Ansett (airline in australia) I recall getting a similar
"live person", but I had pressed the button to get it. It was a reservations
agent that was very knowledgeable with the items Anset was selling (air
travel).

I have to wonder how these HP sales agent are knowledgeable about HP's
products such as Alpha and VMS.

Was this a JAVA applet, or some proprietary microsoft messaging thing ?
