	When was the call made? After 5PM? I don't think it is
Commodore's fault if they only pay people to work 9-5. It sounds
like the caller spoke to the janitor who had no clue what was
going on. Not that it would be bad if Commodore had someone on
the phone 24 hours, but that would be doing more than necessary.
Here they are doing the minimum.
