Robert - Re: Iomega tech support policies Your post lists 3 sources of online help, an automated fax line, and phone support with is available 15 hours a day during the week, and 6 hours on Saturday. As an Iomega customer I don't have a problem with that. Yes, it is true that they charge $15.00 for phone support incidents which are not related to an Iomega product fault. I think that's a reasonable price for good help, and it really encourages people to 1) read the manual, and 2) use the online sources for help. - Allen
