Saw this link, read up a bit, and then I decided to sign up for Backblaze. It wasn't until I went to download their software on my Mac OS X Server 10.5 box that the website alerted me that it isn't compatible with PPC machines (although it does support 10.5 on Intel machines).
Very annoyed? Hasn't the tide turned enough that you have to be looking for affirmative evidence that a company DOES support PPC at this point, rather than assuming they do until told otherwise?
The system requirements say "Intel Mac". How much clearer would you expect them to be? Just ask for a refund and take it as a lesson to read reqs before software purchases.

Very annoyed. Cancelled order.

Why the -1?
And why shouldn't I be annoyed? It didn't tell me I couldn't use their software until after I had paid them money.
Same thing happened to me when I signed up for their service on my Commodore 64.
:(
Why didn't they tell me up front they don't support Commodore 64s?
Your C64 runs Mac OS X 10.5? Neat.
