Oracle is running a ton of slick, expensive, ads in prime time pumping people to go out and buy a "net pc" on which Oracle software shines. What net pc are they talking about? I get Dell ads all the time and I don't see any net pcs being advertised. I see tv ads all the time but I don't ever see net pcs being advertised. In short, I don't see anybody advertising net pcs anywhere. I called CompUSA and they don't know what I am talking about. It seems that oracle is spending a lot of bucks to tell people to go and buy a product that is not commonly available. Houson, we got a problem. Larry's taking a another spacewalk. Unfortuantely, it's gonna cost Oracle cash + reputation.
