Aw, c'mon. The GB-100 can't be the first hi-tech paperweights you've bought. I've accumulated a computer room full of such things. From HP Laserjets to a DG AVIION mini-computer; Fiber muxes, HP Draftmaster Pen Plotters, and several Pentium 133 MHz PC's.
All these things did the job for a while, but although many of them still operate as advertised, they are no longer up to the job. As I'm sure you know, that is the nature of the world we work in. Everything has a life- span. Granted, some are longer than others, but realistically you rarely know in advance. I once bought a newly introduced SuperStack 3 RAS Server from 3-COM. It was discontinued within 90 days of delivery. I'm still using it, but... In the end I figure it could be worse - I much prefer a paperweight like the GB-100 to a boat anchor like the AVIION (the size of a refrigerator). And that's my $.02. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 11:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gb-users] GB-100 now paperweights? The gb1000 is the way to go if you need an enterprise firewall and will take advantage of high availability. If you don't need those features there is no doubt the gbflash is the way to go. Just my .02 GB100 is still a viable firewall, however, it can be used as a little computer too if you don't want to use it as a firewall anymore. Take advantage of the gb100 to gb1000 promo?
