- When you buy a car, they give you an owner's manual, but they do not
- give you driving lessons or instructions on auto mechanics.
-
- When you buy a computer, you get slightly more support than that,
- but basically you are on your own to learn computer programming,
- debugging, and hardware maintenance once the warranty or service
- contract expires.
-
- The best place to get ongoing support is through the user community
- on NetNews or through computer clubs or user's groups.
