Getting Technical Help

Andy ran into a problem when he upgraded some SQL thing-a-ma-bob from Microsoft. Spent two days trying to sort it out and got nowhere. I found this in my inbox this morning:
The $16 was the best money I have spent in a while. I bought a months membership at experts-exchange. Noodling a programming problem, I sleep on it, get up at 4AM, send my question, go back to sleep. Viola, an answer appears in a few hours.

I had been annoyed at them for years for showing questions but no solutions.

Googling programming esoteric has gotten more time consuming and less fruitful.
