Indeed. I went there a few weeks ago. There were things I literally paid 1/6 of the price for elsewhere from reputable places. Made me not to want to look at any of their other products (TVs, etc.).

Lots and lots of "managers" walking around, while their pricing on computer hardware was really, really high. Even during their clearance last week, I went in and found an HP laptop they had marked down for the clearance special ($200 off normal price), and I did a quick lookup and found the exact same laptop, brand new, online for $200 less than that price. So they had a $400 markup on an $899 laptop? Seems a little excessive to me. Travis Microserv Eje Gustafsson wrote: True to this. Just look at Circuit City.

There are many different clients out there which work with S3. I like Mozy but I think Amazon is more likely to be around in the long haul (too big to fail?).

It must not be cumbersome for either myself or the client. It must have encryption at all levels (transport and storage). It must have sold online backup in mind, not an enterprise backup program. It must work on Windows clients, hopefully Linux clients too. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
