Michael, Actually, I think Larry really wants people to say how great he is. He does not just want to succeed, he wants to do it publicly. Larry is way ahead of the pack. That makes him a frustrated man. Mainly because it cost a lot of time and energy to convince the crowd that the earth is round, not flat. Once Larry gets the credits he deserves he will no longer need to convince, he just can explain while others listen. And that will make life a lot easier for him because he no longer need to waste his energy. You will see, 10 years from now he will be a much nicer and more relaxed guy. BTW I share your view on Oracle. With regards, Paul
