   He's too young. Find an older tech guy. You will need help, that much is   
   true. Get someone to set it up for you. Once it's set up, you will be able   
   to manage it just fine.

   It's not a web site; it's a news server. Many of us don't pay. Your tech   
   guy doesn't know what he's talking about, probably because he's too young.
