Thanks to the do-not-call program, I rarely get telemarketing at home these days.

At work, I screen every call that comes in as a transfer. 90% of the time if they don't have my direct number, it's a cold sales call where they called up and asked for the person in charge of the computers. I even had the bright idea that I could help this along by putting the main switchboard number on anything that was likely to be used for marketing, like registrations for trade shows.
