But of course, it can't be marketed to people who might actually need it- no money in that. So instead, Carbonite must convince us that flash drives and the backup services that come with our laptops aren't enough, and that if we don't use Carbonite we may lose all our "irreplaceable" junk, without which life would simply not be worth living.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-54864856172007299482012-03-17T05:15:26.598-07:002012-03-17T05:15:26.598-07:00Yeah, well, the cloud's so redundant that the ...Yeah, well, the cloud's so redundant that the data timespan would surprise you. And why do your files need to outlive you anywway.<br /><br />I'm a writer of fiction novels, which I write on a computer, and losing those files would be a pretty bad day.
