Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ4

["RH Linux" <rhlinux@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

anything else special in the GUI? if not, then i dont think theres really
anything special other then the price to this new raq. Did you guys look at
all the wish list requests that people been sending in? I think this is just
a raq3 with all the software added on and a steeper price...imo
