*OT* >>>I think you got it all wrong. They are a database company and information is their bread and butter, so to speak. How to handle that info and make it avaliable to the public at large was the point of the commercial. Thus, the info., revolution. That was my take on the commerical. There was never any mention of the NC, not in that spot at lest.<<< If you looked at the ad carefully, you would have seen their website stated as: nc.oracle.com I checked it out and it is interesting but slow to my home modem. The red chair is there as well as some NC stuff. For an easier connection use: nc.oracle.com

There was never any mention of databases, either. ;-) I did notice that the website address they give at the end of the commericals appears to have something to do with NCs. - Allen
