Back at MWSF, rambling around the Expo hall

I went to MWSF again today, to try and get some more mileage out of my Users's pass. I visited some of the booths that I didn't get a chance to on Tuesday, and re-visited some that I did. Highlights from my walk around the show floor included:
  • BrakBone - Enterprise-grade backup software that seems to work with everything. They support Mac, Linux, Solaris (including Solaris/x86), etc., etc. Too pricey to be used for my home backup solution, but it sound quite applicable to the heterogeneous environment that I have been crafting at work.
  • Etymotic Earphones - In-ear headphones. I tried both the Etymotic headphones and the in-ear headphones from Shure, and I think I might like Etymotic better. The show special that that they were offering was pretty insane (over $100 off the ER-4), but I maintained my resolve.
  • Prosoft Data Backup 3 - This looks like a pretty decent backup solution, that may well solve my backup needs. It can do full, incremental, and versioned backups of any volume to any other volume, even if it is a network mount. They have a free 30 day trial that I need to check out.
