Also hilarious to see Drew Houston responding a bit later on the same thread:

> we're in a similar space -- http://www.getdropbox.com (and part of the yc summer 07 program) basically, sync and backup done right (but for windows and os x). i had the same frustrations as you with existing solutions.

> let me know if it's something you're interested in, or if you want to chat about it sometime.

>drew (at getdropbox.com)
