Re: [cobalt-users] Is There A Real Difference w/ The RAQ4??

["Adam Holt" <mediadezines@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just emailed the general inquiries email address of my provider
company asking them to explain the discrepencies of why our raq4 only has a
300mhz cpu, I'll let you know if I get anything back, if not, Im on the
phone on monday to talk it over with them.  I have a really bad feeling
about this whole situation at this point.  I dont know what my legal
recourse will be other than a full refund of all monies paid and perhaps
bringing up charges of fraud as well as letting cobalt know what's going on,
thats assuming that anything wonky is going on, which at this point I can
not say is happening, just some discrepencies.
