Guess Rico will mosy on outta there

Rico says the ladyfriend has been urging him (well, hectoring him, actually) to kill his Mozy backup plan and do something (anything) else that's not so expensive. At $4.95 a month, Rico thought it a reasonable investment.
Now, however, in their infinite wisdom, according to Harel Kodesh, its president, Mozy is increasing its fees to nearly $30 a month for the 250GB that Rico needs for his new (post-crash) Mac. In addition, their delivery of his backup files was, charitably, ridiculously stupid, even after paying $60 for a hard disk (full of folders within folders) and shipping.
Well, as they say, fuck that... For a mere $130 or so, Rico can buy a nice 500GB hard drive from Apple and do his own on-site backups, let alone just run the Time Machine he already owns. Problem (mostly) solved.
