While
this pot is stewing, I'll add the following:

What
the heck is wrong with Oracle? They have InterMedia nee ConText,

and
the searchability of their "support" site is embarassingly feeble.

Why no
"smart searches"? Why no automatic notification when a "Forum"
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

size=2>response is logged?  Why no moderated lists..or listservers.....
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

This
stuff ( i.e. "service" ) is cheap, and OWS is making a major mistake by
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

size=2>slacking on it.

Much
as I know people do not like Microsoft, ask any developer/manager about
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

size=2>subscriptions to Microsoft Developer Networks..it used to be near free, now it's
about
2 grand yearly, and you get *boxes and boxes* of CDs with tools, docs,

new
languages, white papers, sample code, amazing stuff....

I
guess if you're one of the big fish in the sea, you get to do what you want and
let
the plankton fall into line......

    does anybody know what exactly MetaBlink runs on?

    last I heard it was clustered 6500's with 6 G of RAM.     

    I actually called client relations to let me know,     and they have not returned the call.     Sun is good stuff, but the site has been truly flakey     for a major corporation's flagship support center.     <shrug>

    I was trying to use MetaLink yesterday morning (east coast     USA) & was getting an authorization error.      I called OTS customer service who verified they were <FONT     size=2>having a problem.  Wonder if some duhveleper got a fat finger in     the wrong place.

    Hi all,   Is anyone else having
