Seriously, though, I'm no fan of telecoms in general, but 9 out of 10 end-users couldn't/wouldn't do this stuff themselves, so I see no problem in someone coming out to do it for them.

80% of the stuff IT techs do is stuff that the end-user could do themselves if they had the interest/knowledge/desire to do so. Fact is, most end-users don't want to sit down and page through tons of posts by geeks speaking in a language they don't understand, they just want their stuff to go faster.

Yeah, but then the 175 pounds is basically the fee for the tech to come out and do all that crap.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20631779 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 10:44:39 EDT Re: What??? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20631753 anon : Obviously the average DSLR user is not their target customer.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20631753 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 10:40:46 EDT What??? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20631735 Chris 313 : People would pay 175 bucks to use a program you could get on this site for free?
