No, No. I said it wrong.

The license provisions for the small business license specifically 
excludes official tech support. If it hadn't been for this list:

(a) I probably would never have tried to tackle a project unless I 
could afford the Pro license.
(b) I couldn't have finished my first project.

I completely understand the value of this list and want to assure 
everyone that I am not denigrating that at all. I'm just not 
accustomed to spending several hundred dollars on a piece of software 
whose license terms explicitly indicate no tech support. Seems kind 
of bizarre!
