Now this is amusing from the fellow who can’t figure out how to comment on a blog.
But, I’m easy to do business with.
Now, I’m a belt and suspenders kindda IT guy. I like multiple diverse routes. Multiple diverse backups.
I KNOW they screwed with my data silently because I have EVERYTHING backed up and cross filed. And, off sited!
At least ever since that monumental screw up by the Merrill Lynch PC Support group. That’s where backups were running but nothing was being backed up. And, in those days, I backed up to to a different disk and a zip drive. A power surge nuked by primary and backup. When I went to restore my personal backup, the Zip disk was eaten by the drive. So I went to the corporate resource and they had swat! co my four levels of backup failed me.
That doesn’t mean I’ve given up on technology. It just means I am very protective of MY data. When I give it to Plaxo or LinkedIn, it’s still “MINE”. And they shouldn’t mess with it.
