Just because they are there doesn't mean that they will be reachable
by just anyone. When you call a company's "tech support", you usually
get a busy signal. If not that, a filthy "touch the touchtone key"
chain. Then, when you finixh that, thirty minutes of a radio station
AT LONG DISTANCE RATES. Then you get a "tech support" person who knows
less than you do. Getting a knowledgeable person is a miracle.

You must be kidding!!!!!! People at stores know less than  "tech
support persons"! In fact, most of what they seem to know is wrong!
