totally. I just think that their quirk in how they advertise has pushed people away from using them at all is interesting.
As one guy said, "I can compress stuff on my disks as well, it doesn't mean that they have twice as much capacity, and shouldn't be advertised as such"
I thought people would have just kinda shrugged their shoulders and just went "I guess it is just a little weird" but it really has pushed people away.
