Man dumps laptop over side of ferry railing - Blames Ferry Boat Captain - Loses $5M Sales Contract

In what can only be described as an accident waiting to happen, Jonas B. Finkles lost his laptop over the side rail of a New York water ferry as the ferry came into its dock and bumped in the moorings. "There I am, just standing there reviewing a sales proposal I wrote last night on my laptop when 'bang'! outta nowhere the boat slams into the dock and over the side goes my laptop. I mean holy crap, there goes a $5 million deal down the drink because the captain doesn't know how to drive." Finkles was reportedly seen by other passengers heading towards the captain's deck shortly thereafter. "Yeah, he came in here knocking on the door, screaming and hollering about his laptop." said Captain Bowsen. "But, c'mon, if you're going to stand there with the thing balancing on the railing of a moving boat - well, you're just asking for it." Captain Bowsen reported the incident to the Port Command Terminal Office in advance of any pending lawsuit from Finkles consulting firm. Fortunately for Finkles and his consulting firm - TBS & Associates - (who's firm declined to comment at this time), Finkles laptop was covered by redBoomerang™. While Finkles had been working on his proposal, redBoomerang was working behind the scenes to assure him that the proposal would not be lost. Using his Internet connection from home, Finkles laptop was automatically scheduled to store his proposal at a secure offsite server. While his company issues him a new laptop, and a stern word for stupidity, Finkles was able to meet his proposal deadline using his protected copy and redBoomerang's "Get It Back Instantly" technology. According to Ken Goldberg, President of MCG / redBoomerang, "We hear these stories all the time about the unfortunate happening to people. Heck, it happened to us as well - that's why we put redBoomerang together. We needed a method of ensuring that our own business wouldn't see additional downtime when critical business information is lost." "As we like to say - with redBoomerang - you'll 'Get It Back Instantly.' As for Finkles, he's just looking at another ferry ride tomorrow and taking a seat away from the railings.
