Craig, As a longtime user of Sun products and Cobalt products, I'm concerned with the attitude expressed here. I have been using Sun since the old IPX days, still have a few Ultra 1, 2, 5's working here as well as some newer equipment. I've contributed to the bottom line of Sun long enough and have run my own ISP long enough to know that ditching this list is not going to materially affect Sun's bottom line. These folks are your customers. It isn't marketing wise to treat these potential future customers in the manner you are. Remember, they were fanatics for the Cobalt product line - you should be trying to win them over to a Sun product line, instead of insulting them. Michael D. Bathrick
I think we are all missing the point here: This list was never an official Sun List. Friendly Staff members have been taking care of it as a favor - they are are not paid for it, it's not a priority. They don't have too. Etc.
(At least that's how I remember it.)We can be thankful that it has hung around so long and that there are others who are willing to pick it up.
