Well jeff perhaps you should check the real archives before you dribble all
over this list with incorrect information.  I did and found 17 all within
the last 6 months.

And well you should be thanked!  But did anyone ever tell you not to say
anything if you don't have something good to say... I've been reading your
posts and it seems your answers are sometimes just a waste of e-mail....

Do You Work For Them???? Nope Didn't think so?  I bet they love you over
there but guess what.  It's because your trying to do their job (That they
hardly do) for FREE!.  Hey do you want to work for me for free to?  I need
someone to clean the stalls in the barn?  BTW perhaps you should take the
Cobalt class on the GUI IF they ever schedule one.... Personally I like
Facts and not Chat to do my research with.

Yeh Rah!  Did you ever take a class in common curtisoy?  I started a little
farther up the ladder on the useful list btw.....

Oh those poor poor children.... How many of them have you told that you
"don't have the time to look it up"

Why bother?  Without the support of the factory the product line is doomed
to become another "Boat Anchor" in my storage.  The poor support by Cobalt
and people using there best guess can only lead to people looking at other
manufactures?  Like Dell Hosting services....  Why would you stick with a
company with next to no support?  Do you like working on old out dated
equipment with no support and no drivers?  Do you still run your TRS 80?
The only thing to learn about is the GUI software!  Who cares?  as far as
I'm concerned the GUI can be deleted anytime.... It's just Linux!

Well if they ever feed me something I'll think about it....  But Your
wrong.... It's a stupid person that continues to take bad service or bad
treatment...

Yes and you are old enough to know when you shouldn't make a public post.
You Don't need to write a procmail rule for me... I'm in the real world and
you can be Nulled several ways....  As you might know Mr. Sendmail Book!
BTW what is the color of the sun in your world?

Now if you can come up with an logical response to the first letter fine...
Otherwise Please spare this list your junk mail and self promotion crap!
Cobalt Needs to develop a sound support group or in time they will be out of
biz and we will have nobody to talk to!

Zeffie Storm!
