Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ4 End of Life

[Scott <shayes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have no problem with Sun discontinuing the Raq4 product, It would have 
been nice to know they where going to before the fact so I could have 
ordered an extra box just in case my current Raq4 fails (their loss of a 
sale). Now if it fails I either have to find a used Raq4 or move up to the 
550 or migrate my site to a different vender, either way no big deal for 
me. It would have just been nice to know that time was running out.
