Yeah, it's mainly the Wall Street camp that seems to be wedded to
Oracle. But if you can get a 1-2% management fee, why not? You have to
show something for underperforming the market.

But servers do crash. Disk drives do die. Power supplies do go poof.

hmmm,  wow, i can do it all for you for 25G a month.  (off course I'd
just put it all on dreamhost for $9.95 a month) and U would never
know!   :-)

ummmm, doesn't google use MySQL INSTEAD of Oracle for all their Ad
serving, that's what I heard, and how much bigger can u get then google?

We're reaching the point where bandwidth is going to zero $ and software
is going to zero $ and phone calls are just about zero $. 
Yipes, lets hope us coders don't go to zero $/hr too __  as the boss
moves a robot into my cubicle!

In the words of Mark Cuban, who is a billionaire WHO GETS it (great blog
by the way):  "Anyone with $500 bucks and a $10 server can take on
google".  And he has an amazing track record!
