I'm a tech guy myself. Run a computer programming shop with
6 programmers. I just asked around the office -- several geeks and
non geeks alike. The general consensus is that while the majority
of us use online resources for a whole lotta stuff it was unanimous
that each and every one of us would have used the paper yellow
pages to look for a carpet cleaner. Your mileage may vary.

150 a month may sound expensive (its not, really) -- but it sounds
quite a bit less expensive if it generates, say, an additional 1000 a
month of business that you didn't otherwise have!
