> I don't have a problem at all with MM charging out the clacker for
support. Thats fine by me. But if its going to cost either a VERY expensive
support licence, a very large credit card hit, or your three first born in
an offering to the powers that be to get support, then I'm presuming that MM
don't actually really want to be doing support.

It's actually pretty reasonable pricing compared to other server vendors
support.  Remember we don't charge $40,000 per CPU for our server products
to subsidise support, so we actually have to recover our support expenses
when people pay for support.  And keeping a team of excellent (their names
regularly appear as co-authors on the spine of Ben Forta's books) support
engineers on pagers 365 days a year is expensive.

Here's a business idea for someone reading this - become a Macromedia
support reseller in Australia.  Buy a silver or gold contract for a year,
then sell support incidents to the people on this list at whatever price you
think is reasonable.  You will improve the availability of local support, or
failing that gain an appreciation of the ecconomics involved in running a
support business :-)

Cheers,
