Correct!  It's a big world out there.

The nice thing about the BQ community is that I have known many of you 
for quite some time.  That helps to build a certain level of trust!

We've been using Cobalt DNA since 1999.   I count BlueQuartz as one of 
the factors that allowed us to grow from a ragtag couple of boxes 
serving a handful of customers to owning and operating our own 10,000sf 
datacenter facility.  The community has always been there for us - this 
is a little way I can give back.   We'll reduce overall load on the BQ 
site and offer it to the public if the public wants.

And also, it will greatly improve our overall time to pull updates on 
our production machines.  200+ machines, all sucking the same updates? 
Yes, that can add up.
