I just got your RaQ brochure, which is damn spiffy.  A couple of things:
- I must have given you the wrong address.  Here is the address on the
envelope you sent me, which is wrong:
Kragen Sitaker
ERIM
2700 Presidential, Suite 360
Dauton OH 45419

Here is the correct address:
Kragen Sitaker
ERIM International
2700 Presidential, Suite 360
Dayton OH 45324
- On the first inside page of the RaQ brochure, it says "After years of
phenominal Internet growth, someone has finally".  You have misspelled
"phenomenal" as "phenominal".
- On the back page, it touts "Support for all the standard protocals -
SMPT,".  I think you meant "protocols", and "SMTP".
- You also used hyphens all over the place where you meant to use em dashes.
- On the back page, you spelled HTTP in lower case ("support for http
1.1").
- On the inside back cover, you say that "The Old Way" costs $20-$100
per client per month, but "The RaQ Way" costs $200-$500 per client per
month.  Is this a typo?  Why should someone want to do things "The RaQ
Way" if it costs from twice to twenty-five times as much?  To avoid
restrictions on client storage, etc.?
- Presumably you can configure a RaQ to do virtual hosting without too
much trouble, making it possible to have hundreds of clients per
server.  Why don't you mention this?  Is there some reason you can't do
this?  Is it just more difficult?
- On the inside back page, underneath the "There's No Comparison"
comparison, you put em dashes where you needed em dashes, which is
good, but you unaccountably put spaces before them, but not after
them.

And on the CacheQube: why does it cost twice as much as the ordinary
Qube?  Does it come with more disk?  If so, can one buy it without the
extra disk?

I look forward to receiving your reply.

(Nice machines, by the way.  And any company that employs Dave S.
Miller can't be all bad.)
