We have kept a collection of stuff over the years, and finally decided 
to start unboxing all the old stuff and put it on display.   Customers 
enjoy seeing it.

I was never aware of the Cobalt Control Station when it was out, though 
maybe we never operated the machines at a scale that it would have made 
sense.   Seems like a really cool gadget, though and especially if 
you're managing a bunch of them.

As for the Qubes, would you believe I've never laid hands on one?

Sometimes I wonder if in an alternate universe would Cobalt have 
retooled their product lineup to fit the times and been a player in the 
space of, say, Synology/Qnap, hybrid cloud, and maybe even some 
crossover with Ubiquiti.    I suppose if that had happened, we wouldn't 
have anything like BlueOnyx today.   We'd have... something else.
