I'm all for local home technical support. Like it or not tech support is outsourced to other English speaking countries where wages are lower.

3] With chat they can send links

4] and you can save the entire chat and review it.
The few chat help sessions I've had...have been successful.

I find that I can get someone much more quickly online, than by going through the telephone...and its seemingly endless prompts.

I too like having the entire session...to print or review later.
