Re: FYI: Introducing Embarq RescueIT(SM)
Nothing the average informed computer used couldn't do themselves free. Why pay $14.95 a month for services you probably will never use? PC Tune-Up? There are so many freeware alternatives, CCleaner?
Who needs someone to help them set up software, its not a difficult thing to do. Also, how often do you really have hardware issues or get a virus? I'm sure some of this is great for grandma and grandpa who don't know a thing about computers and click on links saying "CLICK HERE TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE!!", but for most people this is a total waste of money.
Embarq already charges almost double what our cable company does for faster speeds, just another rip off. |

Ignorant statements such as "Who needs someone to help them set up software, its not a difficult thing to do..." only goes to show your lack of knowledge on what the majority of Embarq's user base is.
Granted, the price is steep, but so is paying the auto dealership to repair your car. Some people already have the knowledge and know-how to fix their own cars by hand, but most of us do not know enough about them, so we pay a premium in order to fix them. |

Right; unless you have a command-economy, if a product is something "no one will ever use", it wouldn't exist.
The very reason it does exist proves that there's at least a suspicion of a market (and if the product continues to exist, it does prove there is a market).
