I have got to wonder about the age of this company.  All it will take for
support to go down is for everyone on this list to buy one server.  When
cobalt first started their support group was outstanding as well and
personally I still have yet to have problems with them.

We have only experienced a couple server outages. More of late than
not..but all user driven.  I have to admit just like everyone else on this
list. There is plenty of room for improvement on the raq family.
Unfortunately, there is a management/leadership change taking place that
could potentially delay this.  Instead of bashing cobalt on the cobalt
list and recommending alternatives...why don't help build it by
recommending solid solutions.  I can't remember who it was that said don't
load the whole virtual site list when adding virtual sites, etc.  I
thought that was an excellent suggestion that should be documented.
Imagine if our customers got together and submitted a tangible list of
product improvement suggestions.

As noted in my signature above we have 12 Raq(x) servers and growing.
Please look me up if you get rid of yours.  We are buying.
