About the NC-"debacle". From Red Herring LOS ANGELES -- "We went down a rabbit hole with the network computer," says Jeremy Burton, Oracle (ORCL) vice president for server marketing. "But what the NC diversion allowed us to do was focus on thin clients." He was fending off an onslaught of reporters flooding into Oracle's black-curtained booth at Spring Internet World '99 in Los Angeles.
