but I'd say about half are utterly unwilling to do the most basic things when they run into any type of problem.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that runs into this. haha

Cool. How does this compare to Owncloud?

I personally favor Seafile over Owncloud. Although I have not spent a lot of time with either.

@alexntg I much prefer using stuff that is more applicable for business. Sophos pulls that "no prices" stuff. From what I can see it is about 600% the price of the Ubiquiti.

The pricing for the home edition is publicly posted:
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-utm-home-edition.aspx

As far as "business" pricing, most of the major equipment vendors operate that way (Cisco, Palo Alto, Sonicwall). They're all either "Contact Sales" or "Find a Reseller". It's a traditional channel business model. Would I like to see a flat price? Certainly, but it doesn't happen.

It's free for software, but not the appliance. VyOS is free too.

@garak0410 looks promising.

The Shatner stuff is seriously classic.

The "Shat"...you know, I never did see the faux Atari Boy and faux George Plimpton Vic-20 commercial before...I think there was another one like that with Colecovision before...not quite sure.

Does Office Home Premium include email now? I used it about a year ago, and it didn't.

Oh. Is it only the Office products?

It's a subscription to Office Home Premium desktop applications and extra OneDrive space.

Agreed, did anyone find out if it now includes email?

It doesn't include mail.

A check list for them to go over for certain issues might help.

+1 for this idea. Here we have check list and we required to login ( HANDOVER CHECKLIST) all the issues and how they resolved the problem.

They also only have a coupe, of mentions on SW. Mostly about spamming people via email to sign up.

Currently liking CrashPlan, but when I hear of things I like to inquire.

Here is where you can buy one...

$50 isn't horrible.

I don't want to shame the vendor, it was just a shocking admission for a vendor to post.

@ambarishrh thanks

how is that the opposite?

It's just a poster about what people fear.

@J1MM3RT

wow.. I've gamed hard before.. but always gave up before passing out..

/gamer elitist voice/ Man up and do it then! /end gamer elitist voice/

Thank you for taking the time to talk to us today!

I have to confess, I don't do any of the things listed in @scottalanmiller 's article. I'm a reasonable pro at work but a hopeless amateur at home.
