Derek,
Please calm down. There's no reason to call Luis names. And besides,
nothing could really be further from the truth since Luis is the author
of the excellent backup program, Cobian Backup:
http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/index.htm
Every person is entitled to their opinion and civil discussion is more
productive than the results one can obtain by being offensive. Just
because you disagree with Luis is no reason to call him names.
I've been guilty of bad behavior myself often in the past, but have
since learned that when emotion enters into a conversation, logic flies
out the window.
