I still program in 6502 assembly language (seriously). So, I have a little bit of a hard time letting things go. lol

You are looking into my comment too deep. I simply replied to someone else saying the 6502 is an 8-bit processor. My assumption was that the OP probably wasn't familiar with ALU, stacks, registers, etc. But thanks for your heroic correction of a general comment that was made a year ago. The world is now, officially, a better place.

Re: All-In on Unlimited Backup

That's a valid strategy. But keep in mind that BB isn't selling to just IT professionals. How many "normal folk" do you think would understand how to do all of that? Some artist, for example, who only uses Photoshop thinks her settings are being backed up but they're not. And, my point of BB should be more transparent when they criticize Carbonite for not backing up videos, yet BB doesn't back up Program FIles is also valid.

What do you do with failed drives or any other drive removed from commission? Do you destroy them or wipe them?

I love BackBlaze. And I am a paid subscriber (three computers). However, I just recently discovered that you don't back up the Program Files folder. That's a major flaw in my opinion and why I wouldn't use BB for business. We have many servers that have legacy Tomcat installations and (for whatever reason) the Tomcats were installed in Program Files along with log files, WAR files, etc. So you literally wouldn't be backing up much of our important data. For home, I can live with this. But I don't like it. You also don't backup the Windows folder. I understand your view on that. That restoring Windows and Program Files isn't a great idea (re-installation is better). BUT, you don't even allow me to override YOUR choice on what I am backing up. Now, I'm no fan of Carbonite. But, before you hark on them for not backing up videos you should fully disclose that you also don't backup folders/files by default.

Would this work with Vaadin based apps which, IIRC, utilizes WebSockets via RPC calls?

It's not considered an 8-bit processor, it IS an 8-bit processor. Its data bus is only 8 bits which means it can't only handle a single number from 0-255 at a time. However, it did have a 16-bit address bus which allowed it to access 64KiB of memory. More memory can be added via a technique called bank switching. However, no matter what you do, it can only access 64KiB at any given moment.

Why would you say that? I guess it depends on the investors and the type of product they are investing in. IBM probably prefers people to be in blue suits.
