Chapter 8: Free expert assistance =================================
This may sound too good to be true. Many computer experts are ready to help YOU without asking a dollar in return. The same is the case with experts in other areas. You have an impossible decision to make. A lawyer has a dotted line that requires your signature, or a surgeon has a dotted line in mind for your upper abdomen. You're not comfortable with the fine print or the diagnosis and wonder if a second opinion is in order. Just ask, and get help. If you have problems with your communications program, post a message on a bulletin board. Do the same thing if you want to sell equipment. Learn from other people's experiences with computers or software that you plan to buy. You will get a reply - if the subject or you attract interest. In the process, you'll get new friends, and be able to follow the development in a dynamic marketplace. The following message from CompuServe is typical:

Changed my mind about GrandView:
1. Learning curve like Mt. Everest. Give me intuitive or give me
death.
2. Lack of patience with " ".
3. Lack of time.
4. It may be unsuited for what I wanted (outlining a book). Since
becoming a born-again Galaxian, I've started using that for the
outline, and I'm happy. There's nothing like a decision and a
permanent bonding and lifelong commitment to make a woman
happy. Remember that, you louts. :-)
