Oh, great! The guy gets his photos nuked, gets a halfhearted apology, and 25 
years free service. Imagine, will they even be in business even ten years in 
the future? Would you trust them again?

Oh, well, that's what the guy gets for depending on someone else to keep his 
"valuable" photos somewhere else. Better thsy should buy him a box of 
portable hard drives.
