Well, that is a good point for those who need the help. I think a
bit differently though. I go where my $ go the furthest. I'm lucky
though, as I have no use for outside support. Be it hardware,
software, what ever, I do it all myself. Heck, I don't trust anyone
else to do it right! I've seen and heard way too many horror
stories, and been able to help a few people do the 'impossible' to be
able to trust 'the experts'. I have no use for extended warranties
of any sort as I believe they are designed to generate revenue for
the seller, not help the purchaser.
But like I said, I'm lucky to be able to do it myself.
