You're certainly entitled to state your opinion and for the most part
you are correct. However your opinion is not the final word and as has been
pointed out several times always ignores the dump truck of manure that 
Cobalt Marketing used to sell their Server Appliances to the public. 
Cars are not good analogies. Cars are not appliances. A refridgerator is 
an appliance. A toaster is an appliance. A Television is an appliance.
A Cobalt Raq is an appliance. The marketing bull continues to lead people
to believe that SAFELY operating a Cobalt Server Appliance is no different
or harder than making ice-cubes, making toast or watching TV. 

The Raq Server Appliance could have had basic firewall tools installed on it
with a GUI interface like the Qube is rumored to have. The list goes on.
