[cobalt-users] Re: cobalt-users digest, Vol 1 #279 - 20 msgs

Subject: [cobalt-users] Re: cobalt-users digest, Vol 1 #279 - 20 msgs
From: Hawke Robinson <hawke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Feb 7 10:02:37 2000
They don't provide the CD with the qube, it's an additional $99 charge tohave one shipped. Not
that price is an issue when we were losing thousands of dollars a minute. But that's moot now
since we've removed the Qubes from our environment. And I will ban any use of them anywhere
related to our company, or any  of our clients or partners in the future.
I supposed that wuold certainly be possible, but we still (have too) would have to pull out
the hard drive to recover the perl code we had on there.
I was hoping that someone has designed some sort of feature (intelligently) that would allow a
more reasonable recovery method.
We're instead going to stick with our HP and Sun equipment, companies that seem to have
actually thought out these issues.
I understand the RAQs have console ports and the like, that would have been much more
sensible, but eventhat aside, the fact they (cobalt) don't provide 24 hr support is certainly
enought to keep our company from ever using their products in the future.
Such a shame though, a well.
Thanks,
-Hawke
