    Re: Tech Support Lately

    I rarely call tech support, because they are never helpful. I was actually told by Toshiba tech support once, "Gosh, that's a tough one. Call us back when you figure it out, so we can tell everybody else."

Seriously stopped calling them years ago because to be honest I don't think they ever help one time! Rather talk to a tech that is in the trenches like me not some IT kid that has never worked on a copier!
    To the best of my knowledge, help desk folk are typically paid nowhere near that amount. There may be a few specialists who do, but they would be very few and far between.

    I actually worked for our Toshiba dealership as a service tech long time ago. Part of my duties was dealers support answering claim reports and talking to the dealer techs with their problems...good times. My main support nowadays are few old colleagues and CTN.
