Way I see it, the $50 per incident is fine. You are not forced to take it. There is plenty of Linux help on the internet, and no doubt Corel will have its mailing lists and share of gurus on it. The pay-per-incident is an option, valuable to some people, mostly first time users, or corporations

Considering the price of support through this mail list, I'd say it was more like highway robbery *grin* Jim Vaughan And probably not as nearly expert as this group! I started out with a 286 and WP5.1 for DOS and I liked it. I was forced to change to Word6.0 which I did NOT like at all. IBM

For linux to blow away micro$loth, businesses must adopt in large numbers. Businesses will pay to get a *correct* answer *right now!* If you have 300 users, $50 to solve a problem is insignificant, especially if those users are generating income while working and consuming money while down.
