Michael, Agreed on the Internet observation- I usually "hang out" at the BMCS Thread. But one of the BMCS regulars said to check out ORCL, so I did, and glad that I did. Oracle is one of the "Plumbers of the Internet". I just came back from a telecommunications conference where the data growth (mainly driven by the Internet) was discussed in depth- from 0.7 billion gigabits of data in 1999 to 13.5+ billion gigibits of data moved by 2005. (Actually voice traffic will also double from 1999 to 2005 but not so much relevant here) That's a stout increase.. Sincerely, Doug F.
