I just received my cobalt cube today whoo hoo.
Its is not 10 years old yet but has just been made obsolete by SUN who
bought Cobalt a couple of weeks ago.
It's brand new never openned in the original box.
I just can't wait to setup my server. But I have to for now though.
That's it
Thank you for reading, you may return to your normal occupation now.
Wait a sec. Something you said made me stop and think for a minute.
YOU, an individual, own a thing. An action by a completely separate
group of individuals far far away have magically made the thing you
own *obsolete*?
How is it that we, as a society, can have this happen?
