Carbonite continues its explosive barnstorm of terror

NEVER once since I learned to program my first computer in 1958, the venerable IBM 650, have I experienced so much agony and witnessed with great sadness so many others suffering the consequences of trusting the computer — let me be more accurate — of trusting people who promise the wonderful services a computer can render if correctly programmed and honestly marketed.


Following my devastating and exhausting encounter with Carbonite in 2008, Jeff Robison held MY data hostage and categorically refused to return my data unless I sign a release that would protect them against a lawsuit. I decided to cut my losses, go on with my life, and never get close to Carbonite again. But then I witnessed too many travesties and hypocritical endorsements driven by greed.

Then I received emails from Marlene and Andrew; their stories broke the camel's back. It isn't the study of mathematics that gave me the tools for solving the equation

Amorality + Avarice + Apathy = Abuse.

In an abundance of caution, following my first-hand experiences and those of many others who came to me or spilled their heart out on the Internet, I must now conclude that Carbonite has not fixed its problem(s) and continues to promote and sell a product that is defective and causes great pain to the user.

Mr. Friend, fix the bug or get out of the computer backup business.

It is compassion and my commitment to the Golden Rule that sounds reveille. No one should suffer from bug-riddled computer services.

I also call on those highly respected personalities who apply their prominence in hawking Carbonite to join us. Kim and Rush, I will call on you, too.

Heinz Dinter, PhD

PS: Do you know of a prominent person who advertises/endorses Carbonite in a public forum? Please let me know their name, position and contact information.
