After-sale handholding something many software vendors promise but few deliver. To hackers, most support people are useless - because by the time a hacker calls support he or she will usually know the software and the relevant manuals better than the support people (sadly, this is *not* a joke or exaggeration). A hacker' s idea of "support" is a tête-à-tête or exchange of electronic mail with the software' s designer. [Jargon File] (1995-02-15)
