- Does anyone know of microcomputer software companies that do
- provide product/technical support via internet?
-
- Back when I was in product support [MS-DOS/Windows, didja guess?]
- part of why internet support suggestions where shot down was that
- 'not as many users there as compuserve' and 'no one else does, so
- we don't have to'.
-
- BTW: Yes, I was on the MS-DOS 900 line ($2/min or $20/call); no
- it is NOT programming support; NO the $ microsoft gets from that
- doesn't begin to cover the cost of offering it (after AT&T and
- federal, state and local taxes are taken out, microsoft gets about
- $1/minute).

- not speaking for microsoft in any way, shape or form.
