The Liminal Librarian

Just a friendly consumer warning. I bought an external western digital hard drive to back up my data. When I plugged it in, it gave me the option to install Memeo autobackup software. Not until the software was installed and the backup started did it mention that this was a 30-day trial of $29.95 backup software… nice.

24 hours later, my initial backup finally completed (!). My system has been running slowly ever since, and the ‘autosync’ and ‘autobackup’ options don’t want to stay out of startup. The windows uninstaller keeps crapping out. If you buy a hard drive with this product on it, my advice is — STAY AWAY.

(this message brought to you by the letter “A,” for annoyed.)
