Pete,

I started all of this ...

worth the time and effort because most of those individuals complaining

some organization and never had to consider where the next check was

This is precisely the reason for my complaint - I'm an independent 
software developer, also running a small hosting outfit.  No cozy office
here, my friend.  No large training budget either ...

Anyway - the original issue is as follows:  Why wouldn't Sun Cobalt
distribute the RaQ Technician manual seperately?  I fully understand
that they spent a lot of money developing the RaQ (both the software and 
hardware), and nothing in life is free.  But charging $695 for a set of 
5 manuals, where 4 of those can be obtained for less than $200 elsewhere)?
