"The NC is nothing more than an optional artifact of distributed, component-based computing. It's not a defining architecture." oh..you mean like a browser? is that an artifact as well? - NCA or Network Computing Architecture is Oracle's version of n tier architecture not NC's.

Rod, I agree that both the market and the press have been slow to respond. What both need is some watershed events to happen (i.e. major organizations announcing the purchase of 10,000 NC's). The PC architecture (i.e. FAT and UGLY) is so well entrenched that the paradigm shift will unfortuneately be slow at the onset. Oracle is alive and well in this space with or without an NC. Distributed component based computing is just getting started and ORacle is well positioned to leverage it. Anyone that thinks that the database revolution is over doesn't understand that is the driving force behind the explosion of the Net. This rocket ship has slowed for the time being but it is going to be a wild ride! Carlos
