I've been involved in a few start-ups and even more "would be" entrepreneurs, so I can identify with the email exchange that David Thorne has posted here. It's worth a read, for a good laugh regarding the logo (by David) below...
Well National Pools finally installed our pool cover and cleaned out
and closed up our pool for the season, but it's still not officially
finished. The C of O can not be issued until Final inspections are done and they
couldn't happen until the site is in pristine condition, landscaping
and fence included. The site was only finished last week and National
couldn't recommend leaving the pool open for the few weeks it would
take for the inspections to happen. It's just going to get too cold
to fast for that. So... We,ll have to wait till Spring for the finals and hope there are
no surprises. [Sent from my iPhone 3GS]

I've been putting http://dropbox.com to heavy use while I'm moving all my files from Windows and the Mac. Give it a try. You won't regret it.

Fios insisted that a technition had to install it... Luckily Julia was
there to show him the Tivo cablecard instructions. Worked as soon as
he read and followed them. Now I've got HD Tivo running into our new
LED TV.

Restore requests are supposed to stay on the restore page for 7 days, it's been 4. The USB drive restore request, which I had to pay for, disappeared also with no notice or tracking number so I have no idea if it's been shipped and when to expect it or if backblaze just lost my request through a system glitch. Argghh!!! The only way to contact someone is through a support request form that promises 1 business day turn around which puts me into the holiday. I tried calling their paid support line, but they can't help with actual http://backblaze.com issues. They have no access to their records. This is a very opaque process, especially for one that customers are buying as insurance against data loss. Epic customer support fail.
Chubb Insurance has a great tag line... "Who insures you doesn't matter. Until it does." I guess your backup provider doesn't matter until it does... then your SOL.
Update: Backblaze got back to me. Said it shipped after the cutoff... look at the tracking info I have.... looks like it was never really shipped!
