In the News I recently had a bad experience with an application service provider that illustrated a growing problem with technology companies- lack of service and support. We have grown complacent as technology consumers and we allow vendors to offer very poor levels of service that wouldn't be allowed in other markets.

How does not paying for higer quality products and an extended service plan not help? Buy definiton you pay more and get more. Yes, you must actually *look* at what you are going to pay for. You can always pay more and get less because you failed to understand what it is you're getting. Take big retail chain stores: You pay less an hour or at small flat rate and you get 6 dollar an hour monkeys. You want knowledgable service staff? You pay for that too.
