Re: [cobalt-users] Are RaQs here to stay? (opinions wanted)

["K.A." <khalil@xxxxxxxxx>]

I strongly agree with Jeff. We faced kind a similar problems in the past and
finally decided that Cobalt is the best within this price range. Whenever we
needed to talk to ensim about Webppliance, they always stress to go for
their new product ServerXchange which has this feature and that feature and
blah... blah..... Do you know ServerXchange could cost 20 to 30 thousand
dollars or even more.... Also they have not decided yet whether they are
going to upgrade Webppliance or not.... they want to focus on
ServerXchange....
