Re: [cobalt-users] What to do? and what I have

Hello Zeffie,

Well as you have said "instead to just be commercial like almost everyone
here..."
If they are only commercial users why would the support a dying product that
is
supported only the few loyal users.... but what will happen when one day the
RaQs are finally down?

Sadly some of us would like to help..... but not all of us can
contribute..... Sure we know how to use and configure the server here and
there but we can't really do any product development on it..... ( I
personally can't even install a RPM file.... )

Anyway I am in your MSN messenger :P look for "GalacNet"
