That's a cop-out on Oracles part, it's would be like Porsche saying, if you want to "test-drive" the car, you have to go to Germany to do so. Makes me wonder about Oracle sales and marketing, are they so big, that they really don't care, and are selling on momentum. Do they not care about outside the U.S. sales, what about support?

Didn't know you were in the US, BTW it's hard to tell, you could have just as easily been in Europe, Australia or somewhere else.
