Aha! Fooled ya. I didn't use the right method to unsubscribe.

to be a computer programmer to figure it out. He sees himself more as
a computer user than a computer tech. He's just like most people in
this respect. They have other things on their minds, like work they
want to do with the computer, but they are not interested in figuring
out how the computer works. It's the same with car troubles; most
people just take their car to an automotive mechanic when things
aren't working right and pay them for their expertise in figuring
these things out. It's actually more efficient than them spending the
months of study to be an even marginally competent mechanic.

You've got it right.

the minimum amount of money he would have to pay out to get his
problem solved. 

But it's also the time it's taken/may take.
