And exactly what alternatives _do_ you see for someone who DOES NOT HAVE THE SKILLS, TOOLS, OR RESOURCES, to 'do it themselves'? That's a serious question, not an attack. If someone wants it done, but doesn't have the knowledge/tools/etc. to do it themselves, it appears to me that they have precisely two realistic alternatives: 1) Trust "somebody" to do it, and do it right, or 2) simpl DON'T do it. Putting together what is required to "do it yourself" _is_ out of the question for _most_ Windows users. They don't know _what_ they need to know/learn/have to do the task. Heck they don't know how to find out *what* they need to find out, to learn what is needed to do the task. Yes, in theory, they _could_ learn everything they need to know to do it themselves, but the list of things that a 'know nothing' Windows user has to dig out, understand, and _use_, is incredibly long and daunting.
