Re: [cobalt-users] Scared!

["Steve Bassi" <Steve@xxxxxxxxx>]

Frankly you missed the point in my reply to the person that said they were
scared of obtaining a RAQ

I was simply saying that generally people are helpful and that there is no
need to be concerned.

I certainly did not endorse UK2, although so far I am happy with what I
have.

Secondly with 20 years experience, you don't know how to reply to the list
?
Amazng!!

Its people like you that deter people from this forum.

If you  have a gripe with UK2 - take it up with them - this is not the place
for it in my opinion.

As for my my contractual arrangements with UK2 - That is not your concern -
but frankly I find it amazing that you feel you have sufficent knowlege of
my arrangements - to publicly comment on them.

I suggest in future you get your facts right first.

To to set the record straight . UK2 currently gives me 10GB bandwidth. which
is sufficent for my needs at this time.

The way I see it is that I have it for three years. with an outlay of approx
$1400.

In three years had I purchased the equiment, it would be virtually obselete
with new and faster technology available.

I am already making substantial savings on expenditure - that I incurred on
renting web space.

I am having fun, learning Linux and experimenting on the box - and testing
software that I write.

So for me UK2 is a good deal.

If UK2 go belly up - its the best thing that could happen to me, since I
took out an insurance policy with Lloyds of London to reimburse me
significantly should I be affected within the three year period.

As for Tax relief on capital expenditure.

Would I not have to be in business and making a profit to benefit fron this?

As I am retired and this is a hobby, I doubt the Inland Revenue would be so
generous to offset it against my pension.

If you can provide me with a RAQ, bandwidth in excess of 10GB for less than
$475 a year - I would certainly consider it, should UK2 go bust.

Can you do that ?
