I got it last time on GAOTD. And downloaded this upgrade from the Neobyte website and installed it without any need to revisit GAOTD. Perfectly respectable backup solution it has seemed to me, though I do have a few different types.

Let's say that somedumbsite.com wants me to sign up for an account before I can access the content, but I'm not too sure how true they are to their privacy policy. I'm paying $10 a year to register mydomain.com. I also have a Gmail account which is [email protected]

I have my own domains & emails & Gmail - but just for this temporary email, I'll use pookmail or equivalent to give me an address just for 24 hours.

Nearly 24 hours still left.

Good prog for those who have a use for it (though no drag and drop).

Is it really so unusual to want to buy something (a gift, perhaps) and have it shipped directly to another address?
-mrainey (July 17, 2008, 07:10 AM)

I don't think it is at all unusual. It's just that there's a higher rate of theft and risk to the retailer when things are shipped to another address. So firms on tight margins can easily decide that they cannot afford to have that business on those margins.

This is EXACTLY why I will never use NewEgg again!  While the service was great, the prices outstanding, and the selection unbeatable - I just can't accept that their method of "protecting my credit card" is the best (or even desireable) way.

Your problem is precisely the reason that you were attracted to them in the first place. They keep their prices so low (with service etc good) precisely by reducing or cutting out all unnecessary risks and costs. And one of those risks is delivery to another address, that unfortunately you find necessary. In the context of their business as a whole, they have obviously decided that they are better off without customers who require that service.
