Well, we now have had to RMA a total of 3 Cobalt RaQ3's. This latest one is
our last one. We have decided to move away from the Cobalt platform and on
to something with better support and that is easier to troubleshoot. We have
ordered several Dell PowerApp.web machines. I think they will be lacking in
the nice interface that the RaQ's have, but the Cobalt interface doesn't do
us much good when the box wont' even boot!

So long Cobalt. Best of luck with Sun.
