Does anyone know how the sales of ORCL's $200 NC's are going. I love the commercial with the kid hooked up to the net over his TV. Just wondering how sales to this market segment are going.

New WebTV (which is essentially a thin client) is in short supply.

I don't think they're out. The commercial reads either "Introducing" or "Announcing" network computers, which in technospeak is somewhere between a glimmer in someone's eye and actual vaporware.
