- Viral, on 02/15/2008, -2/+3Maybe because you're wrong? The acting obviously is, the call wasn't.
- tonicboy, on 02/15/2008, -4/+2Dude, so obviously fake.
- ThinkBox, on 02/16/2008, -1/+1its real, my friend is from panama. He took the pictures and put them up as part of a class project. His buddy worked at the call center, which is no longer there, Dell laid them all off. The this is edited so the 5 minutes in the beginning of the convo, which are boring and normal, are not in the video. And the class project had a 2 minute max. Just look around on youtube for the full version of I Can Believable.

- dominikkom, on 02/15/2008, -1/+69Didnt you read? Floppy drive prices are on the rise!
- ElAssoWipo, on 02/15/2008, -0/+37Because they're becoming antiques.
- mywhitenoise, on 02/15/2008, -2/+30They still offer floppy drives?
- mraustin1337, on 02/15/2008, -3/+3USB Floppy Drive FTW!

- jmahnn, on 02/15/2008, -15/+6Yeah! so Ron Paul
....what? - antiorblkflag9, on 02/15/2008, -12/+2I found this to be quite stupid. It isn't that hard to realize he said feature not future. Way to make fun of people's accents assholes.
Buried- FatLoser, on 02/16/2008, -2/+7I think he intended to say "IN the future it is going to cost more money." It makes less sense if he said "feature" because he gave no reason or timeline for said price hike. It's just arbitrarily going to cost more money? Like in 2 seconds, in the 5th dimension, in his wet dreams? Quit trying to stick up for a douche bag.
- antiorblkflag9, on 02/16/2008, -2/+1Getting the floppy drive is going to cost him more money because he is adding another component to his computer moron.
- FatLoser, on 02/16/2008, -1/+5You clearly didn't follow follow the conversation at all. He was ridiculing the guy for not adding the floppy drive, and trying to coerce him into getting it by claiming it would cost more in the future. I'm almost positive you're just trolling at this point; and if that's the case then I've got news for you. Good trolls leave little hints that they are trolling, otherwise there's no way to differentiate between them and regular idiots... the whole point of trolling is to ***** with people and get recognition for it at the same time. You just look like a moron.

- jmhyer51, on 02/15/2008, -1/+21Is the part where he call the guy a hooker also from sales training?

- cougar618, on 02/15/2008, -0/+9'When are you born'.. May I ask you the same question?
- GT35R, on 02/16/2008, -0/+2That isn't entirely true. Some HD (high density) floppy discs went up to around 2.4MB I believe. Though they never became popular. Go to your bios an see for yourself. There a option to use hd floppy.
- theblt, on 02/15/2008, -0/+8First off...
Floppy = 1.44MB
Secondly..
1GB USB drive < $20
- falafelkiosken, on 02/15/2008, -0/+21when are you born? A floppy holds 1.44mb
- webtroll, on 02/15/2008, -2/+4Well he's definitely right about that. Prices will always rise is in the future, virtually nothing gets cheaper. Only that floppy drives aren't going to be a part of the future of computing.
- Warll, on 02/16/2008, -1/+1I you have never heard of Moore's law eh?
- biotch, on 02/15/2008, -1/+5hahahah I didnt know they even sell those anymore. VCRs arent even as dead as the floppy drive.

- ssn697, on 02/15/2008, -11/+42Absolutely, positively not fake. The whole call is much longer though. You only got the key part. The funny thing with the whole call is the first 5 minutes are really ordinary, then BANG!, the rep snaps. I still have the full version of the original call.
- asauterChicago, on 02/15/2008, -0/+19um... link?
- ssn697, on 02/15/2008, -28/+2It has been out on the net for at least three years. Go find it yourself. It will be more satisfying that way...

- FatLoser, on 02/16/2008, -1/+13I think there's a job for you at a Dell call center.

- Verytastycheese, on 02/15/2008, -1/+2Yeah I heard this call spread through dell internally a few months ago... I'm pretty sure its real.
The agent of course got canned shortly after. - bingobongony, on 02/16/2008, -0/+1Yeah..no one could fake those 5 minutes!
- asauterChicago, on 02/15/2008, -0/+19um... link?

- 11familyguy11, on 02/15/2008, -3/+73"Nnnnnnnnnnnnno floppy dry. You want to add the three and half floppy dry?" The presentation of the image of the floppy drive was epic.
- Darrelc, on 02/15/2008, -20/+57Is it just me or is there actually *nothing* about Dell? for all the submitter knows it could be able Apple or Toshiba etc. someone just not like Dell?
- leprix, on 02/15/2008, -2/+74not Apple, they dont have "sales"
.....or floppy drives.- bobartig, on 02/15/2008, -2/+11Or Pentium 4's, or flyers, or any kind of machine that has ever shipped with a DVD drive and a CD burner, or any desktop that can hold two optical drives that is $999.. but yeah, there isn't anything to implicate Dell here either.
- thunderer, on 02/16/2008, -0/+1Actually, Apple shipped Pentium 4's on the Intel development machines.

- thunderer, on 02/16/2008, -0/+1Actually, Apple shipped Pentium 4's on the Intel development machines.
- netzdamon, on 02/16/2008, -4/+3No the fan boys are right if it was apple it would have a big fat apple logo. Followed by a $4,000 price tag. The floppy drive would cost 800$ because it has a apple on it. DUH!
- bobartig, on 02/15/2008, -2/+11Or Pentium 4's, or flyers, or any kind of machine that has ever shipped with a DVD drive and a CD burner, or any desktop that can hold two optical drives that is $999.. but yeah, there isn't anything to implicate Dell here either.
- overkilpro, on 02/15/2008, -19/+6i doubt it is apple. They have americans helping you not indians.
- mywhitenoise, on 02/15/2008, -2/+14Not true, I've had outsourced service from Apple before.
- Tooch07, on 02/15/2008, -2/+9Exactly. When you order you get a clear, English speaker. When it comes time for AppleCare/service call, then you get India.
- zookee, on 02/15/2008, -1/+11That guy doesn't have an Indian accent.. sounds more Spanish or South American.
- Eallan, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2When i talked to applecare the other day he was one of the most stupid human beings i've ever encountered. I was pretty disgusted.
- yojiffyskippy, on 02/15/2008, -4/+21It's all about presentation. What sounds more authentic?
1) A Leaked Call Center Recording from Dell.
2) A Leaked Call Center Recording from some computer company. - ssn697, on 02/15/2008, -2/+53The first 5 minutes of the call has been stripped off. It is a Dell call. Thousands of Dell employees have heard this call. It was very famous when it happened 3 years or so ago.
- mradules, on 02/16/2008, -0/+0link?
- legendxx, on 02/15/2008, -18/+8haha look at the fanboys leaping to apple's defense.
- johnpaul191, on 02/15/2008, -0/+7Well Apple does have sales people on the phones, but it's just inaccurate to say this could be Apple.
Apple has not offered an optional floppy drive.... ever? Zip drive maybe in the G3 and G4 PowerMacs, but not floppy a drive. Once they dropped them from the original iMac, they were not in the following revisions of other machines either. They also never had promotional sales flyers in newspapers for stripped down systems, and every Mac (except the Xserve) has at least one dinky internal speaker. - legendxx, on 02/15/2008, -4/+1No ***** sherlock. I got that from the 3-4 comments before mine. I was just commenting at the fact that the original poster hinted at the possibility this wasn't Dell and randomly named some other manufacturers and you guys come screaming that it can't possibly be your beloved apple.
- chaseywacy, on 02/16/2008, -1/+1Don't be a little bitch about it just because you don't own a Mac. If you prefer a PC over a Mac, great. No need to get all insecure about it.
- CodyJakubowski, on 02/16/2008, -1/+4all the fighting makes me sad :(

- shadeOfGrey, on 02/15/2008, -25/+3But his Indian accent sounded totally fake.
- phavn, on 02/15/2008, -2/+23Maybe it's because description says "Panamanian call center rep"
- shadeOfGrey, on 02/15/2008, -5/+10I was trying to make a joke about India being the call center capitol of the world. But once again, I've failed.

- ssn697, on 02/15/2008, -2/+9It is the three year anniversary of this call (approximately). It was just about NOW, three years ago, that Dell IT did a scan of computers, looking for anyone with a copy of the .wav file recording. It made the rounds at Dell like wildfire.
- bingobongony, on 02/16/2008, -1/+2The very fact that you are so adament about it being real, commenting in EVERY thread that suggests it might now be leads me to beleive that it is complete *****.
Again...provide SOME evidence that it is real. Your word is certainly not good enough.

He had a customer who just bought a cell phone and a week later the price had dropped, so the customer obviously wanted the phone at the new price. So "Roberto" tells him "Well if the price of the phone goes back up, can I call you back to charge you more?" It's funny but at the same time gives the customer a terrible experience.

Dell is annoying. I bought a Dell last year and did not purchase an extended warranty. Someone from their extended warranty department called and tried to sell me an extended warranty. After listing several doomsday scenarios, I politely excused myself and said that I was not interested. The salesperson continued to spew situations such as "what if your hard drive fails", "what if it gets wet", "what if it doesn't boot up?" What if it gets wet? WTF? It's a desktop. I had an answer for each question and this ***** him off so much, he yelled something and hung up on me.
However, I consider this a small price to pay for their amazingly cheap prices. I mean where else can you get a dual core with 1 GB of RAM and a 19" widescreen monitor for 400 bux???- AROZ, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Unlike the majority of extended warranties, I've actually heard good things about theirs. But your desktop could get wet if the sprinklers go off, if you have such a setup. Different accidents happen. I don't know if they still have this, but for laptops they had a warranty that even if dropped it, they'd fix it.
- heathuff23, on 02/15/2008, -8/+1You just admitted to the entire digg community that you BOUGHT a dell? ROFL...you own a dell! aahh...thats good...thats good
- joshhan, on 02/15/2008, -0/+7What's wrong with the Dell? $400 dollars for a new system that I'm going to use as a file server with a free 19" widescreen monitor to boot? Please enlighten us with what handmade system you have.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yj2oXMdZ4sk - sq2shooter, on 02/15/2008, -10/+1Screw Dell. Last week while I was online checking my bank account a charge came through from Dell for an $1,100 computer and another $300 charge from Staples for a printer. Knowing that these were not made by me, I immediately contacted both companies to stop these orders before the funds were transferred out of my account. I give Staples my card information and they find the order and see that it is obviously a stolen card as the shipment is going 1000 miles from where I live and is under someone elses name. They cancel it immediately. Dell on the other hand claims that they cannot find the order from the card that it was paid on (because their system can't do that) and tells me to take it up with my bank when the funds clear. So I figure Dell is okay knowing that this shipment is a fraud and they are willing to ship it and charge me, then come back later and refund my money to the bank. I am sure that they will book this as a sale and then write it down as theft on their books. Nice little scam Dell has going there. Thanks Dell, you can kiss my ass.
- roosterjm2k2, on 02/15/2008, -0/+6Actually, dell is handling it properly.
I could order something with my CC, ship it to my parents in California, then try to call and say I didnt make the purchase, and look, its 2000 miles from my address. Dell just has "your word" at that point. Going through the bank makes it a felony (fraudulant claim) ... - gl77, on 03/31/2008, -0/+3calling the bank or financial institution who issued the card would have been my first call actually.
- Balloondoggies, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3Your bank is the first place to call when you come upon something like this. How does Dell know that you aren't a scammer calling to make changes to an order placed legitimately? Your bank will take care of the problem ASAP, the companies will take their time.
