No Way. Service is the key here. I don't want to learn how
to fill out the right form, or in which sequence I have to
press a button, just to learn afterwards, if I had done it
different I would have saved a lot of money.

Nanana, I want a human beeing, which does realy give me the
needed service to perform the required task.
