Backup is tired - Tubes is wired

Backup schmackup. Why I like Tubes better - permanent backup is like benefit
#9 at http://www.TubesNow.com- auto sync, no action to get stuff, no URL to
go to, no login or send button, instant permanent or ad hoc sharing nets created
with just an email invite, drag and drop sharing to one or more icons
representing entire networks of people or just one, bidirectional -everyone can
share with everyone. Content always current, always up to date and always
available even when away from an internet connection. Whew!

YouBackItUp - Not As Good As Should Be

Warning, this uses a Java applet to work, which means both (a) potential security risk and (b) you have to have Java enabled and installed (and as many FireFox users do, I have it turned off). Trying it in IE resulted in it locking up my Internet Explorer and Explorer windows until I got the Java applet to unload by clicking another link in their interface.

I'll stick to my BROWSING for files thank you.
