Another thought. Are Cobalt Racks in Breech of contract here through lack of
service (for the customers like me who have have connectivity outages).
Surely in that case you can cancel your contract (as I intend to)
immediately as they originaly broke the contract not the customer? Any ideas
folks?

What server are you using w/ Cobaltracks.com - are you in the process of
leaving to?

When your making a  couple hundred per month per server, a refund really
isn't good when you consider you lost twice as much in customers!!  Though,
I am jeleous, I could not even get that from them!

Thank you,
