Of course it's there...but try searching for the keywords cobalt and chat
(That's what the orginal poster asked about)

You will find a link to a web page that doesn't work as advertised.

So, it's the original poster's fault that he didn't look for cobal and
irc?

Instead of Dan's normal snide comments, all he had to do is reference the
the archive url...or heavens forbid, explain in neutral tones that a
search on cobalt and irc would work.

Realizing that Cobalt markets these boxes based on not having to know
anything about 'nix, we need to understand that many folks may not
be "up to speed" on terminology and methodology used to search the
archives.

Perhaps someone who is very skilled in searching the archives could
write a FAQ designed for new members of out community.

The other alternative, of course, is to continue in the present mode...and
see continual posts, replies and escalations.

Can I assume that in your entire life you've never started at square one
where you knew so little that you didn't know the "correct" way to ask a
question?
