You may be right - however, they have a ton of cash and (big IF) IF the economy picks up, they, IMHO be once again the big boy on the block. Who is going to unseat them in the large enterprise arena? Certainly not MSFT, IBM with its DB2 product - not hardly, SYBASE - no, SEBL - don't think so. ORCL is going into direct competition with several LARGE players in the college and university market - web enabled services on the student side, billing rec. systems, registration, stats, tuition calculation (with business rules/objects etc...) Believe me, this is a HUGE market... and I'm happy that I am now retired from info. tech. and don't have to deal with system changes anymore! I did miss the boat on ORCL's low - bought @ $11, may pick up more @ 8. + change... Larry E. must be a real SOB! Take Care!
