really, your a little touchy arent you? try calling the number they flash all over the web page to 'buy one now' - it sends you to some god forsaken 800 number which services all of RCA's other terrific consumer products (cant think of any of the top of my head - There's no doubt Oracle did a fast switch on a set top box vs. a Network Computer. Then again im only a consumer and dont really understand Oracle's sophisticated marketing .. but they make a reasonably good database and have a big services organization thats why I own my shares though theyve dropped half there value since i bought them. BTW If you really belive that Larry doesnt make decisions that are detrimental to Oracle's success for his own sake your fooling yourself. How about N cubed - how many of Oracles best engineers were siphoned off to work at a company Larry owned which eventually tanked? Information Superhighway Fiasco? - remember the Launch with Walter Cronkite? how much did that cost to fuel Larry's ego - as a shareholder i want my money back!! When i invested i thought Ray lane was running the company not Larry.
