I was already having a really good World Backup Day, and it only got better when I received this great offer from Carbonite:
Of course, it's a joke how many e-mails I get from Carbonite trying to upsell me on their already-expensive service. But this one seems particularly annoying. I'm annoyed that I have to waste a keystroke to delete this email because you invented a holiday to peddle your product. I'm annoyed that you think I have a bunch of computers sitting around, and I'm just waiting for the right offer to pull the trigger and start backing them up.
C'mon Carbonite. We both know you're going to send me 6 more 30% discounts before the end of the month. Your faux holiday gives me no urgency to panic and purchase more of your service.
