I have always gotten better response and better answers from c.s.m.p!
I am a certified developer, but find I rarely use MacDTS.
When I do, I often get a better answer from the net sooner.

I think you should take a look at the support offered by companies
like IBM, DEC, and Sun, and compare their support prices, and I think
you will find Apple to be a very strong competitor. I agree that the
small independent developer has a strong disadvantage, but they always
have. Thank god for Usenet, eh?
