I did not pay for hardware; that I can build myself. I paid
for the GUI and the interface. For that, I have a Qube which
runs interference and full Internet services for 60 people,
has run for three months without touching it, and doesn't
give me grief. I figure I got my money's worth.

I would, however, like to have more stability in some of the
other products and patches. Certainly the support is atrocious,
and if it weren't for this list I'd be truly lost. On that,
which is certainly part of what I paid for, I did not get
my money's worth.

Just my two bits.
