Tabasco Sauce, or To bad I'm not in the market for the Product

There was a box in my mailbox the other day. At first I thought it was a new batch of CDs for TechNet subscription. The box turned out to be the wrong size, and most definately the wrong color.

Now I have become pretty calloused in throwing out out flashy advertisements, but this one had a shiny red box! It turned out to be an advertisement for ExaGrid's disk-based backup system.

Now I'm not in the market for a backup system; and I am a bit uneasy with black box backup system hardware. But I did get a little bottle of Tabasco Sauce, so it wasn't a total loss.
