I am one of the aspiring new media yahoos that bought into the fever gripping folks everywhere – the Drobo (a play on words for “data robotics.”) Leo Laporte, Scott Bourne and all of those folks loudly proclaimed about what a fantastic device the Drobo is.
I’m here to tell you it sucks.

One of the fortunes I’ve had this year was to finally obtain a “real” TV set to replace the small dinky tube I’ve had since I moved out of my house. In case you’re wondering, that’s about 19 years ago.
