Sure! Jeff Lovell has been posting a lot lately, and you'll see other Cobalt
people posting now and then.
The base idea, though, is that this is a user's list; where the users can
help each other; not a tech support list where Cobalt helps us.
It would be nice, I agree... but such is the manner of the beast.
If the Cobalt people really pay attention to what's going on here on the
list, they can easily keep track of user issues and know how to improve
their products. While I'm not sure they're actually doing this, it's a
fantastic idea in theory. I think mainly they just keep an eye out for major
problems that occur with packages and such so they can fix those asap. We're
the ultimate free beta-test group. <wink>
I'm sure I'd really hate to know what kind of to-do lists these people have
during the day; set forth by Cobalt or Sun. Development of new products is
probably looming over them like Godzilla, and while they'd like to be able
to help us more or improve the products they've already got out, the
bean-counters down in accounting are pushing for newer, bigger, faster - and
forget the old stuff. If it's been released, it's outdated, and you *must*
keep pushing out stuff better and faster than your competition.
