"If you feel people should call MS or spend hours and hours searching the
web for answers why are you and these NGs here?"

Where do you think I find the information for most of the questions I answer
in these newsgroups? On the web. If I can do it, you can too. For the most
part, I'm nothing more than a librarian. And in the majority of cases, the
very best answer in a newsgroup contains little more than a link to the
information on the web. That way, the poster gets more than just an answer,
they learn how to find the answer on their own the next time.

Newsgroups were never intended to teach people how to use their computers.
Usenet doesn't have the infrastructure. Besides, the web is crammed full of
fabulous information that you just can't get in a newsgroup.

Over the years virtually everything I've learned about computers has come
from the web. Is there some special skill that I have that you don't that
makes me so proficient at finding information? Unlikely. All that is needed
are reading skills, a sense of initiative and a willingness to take
responsibility.

I've never called Microsoft technical support, so I can't comment on that.
In fact, I haven't picked up the phone to any technical support group in
years.
