Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup/Recovery

And so today we award the (perhaps premature) Reader of the Decade award to one Ed Ross (stand up, Ed). Ed has had the good sense to set up a webring for Register readers and welcomes you all to join here. After the initial buzz had worn off though, concern grew. Aren't webrings a little disturbing? (What do they do? What do Reg readers have in common? Are we creating a race of single-minded cynics? The possibilities are too terrifying to contemplate.) And so, we did the right thing. We emailed Ed, offering him the use of the world-renowned vulture logo and asking for feedback while simultaneously sneaking round his dustbins to find out what he's up to. Our paranoid concerns seemed at first to be confirmed - Ed is a programmer specialising in M$ software - Cripes! We've been targeted by an M$ cell working deep in Britain, laying booby traps before they're disbanded post-DoJ judgment. On the other hand, Mr Ross is a webring fanatic - he has at least nine to his name. We'll only know when Ed gets back to us. ®
