I'm no techie, but how does this sound? oracle to buy the network software that runs on the compaq computer that was built with the ibm parts that work with the intel chip that uses the free operating system that linus built. oracles database software used to manage database of popular websites that are downloaded from the internet onto office networks run with novell software and new compaq cache products that ibm will build all using the platform of the future - intel and linux go INTUX or LINTEL or LINtelUX (i like that last one, it's got intel inside - get it?). bye bye microsoft. whos gonna buy your overpriced products now, without your monopoly power to keep them in line. hey can someone tell me who makes Lotus Notes, Lotus 1-2-3, etc. i'd like to stock up on their stock if theyre public. oh wait they were bought by ibm. never mind. how does one for one stock swap between oracle and novell sound. oracles got a $54B market cap to novells $8B cap. oracles got 1.44B shares outstanding novells got 0.34B shares outstanding. little dilution.
