Dave -- ORCL: Wow! I thought ORCL's announcement was awful. The thing that worries me most is that they said, in their pre-announcement, that Applications growth would be 50 percent -- and they only delivered 25 percent. I don't know what the explanation for that discrepancy is, but it would suggest a real problem with financial controls. I bet Ellison wants to kill his CFO! I like ORCL long-term because I'm a believer in their vision for the applications suite. But I'd expect a pretty rough road, near-term. Good luck!
