Do you know where I can go then to find the answer to a follow up question to this. We have a client that we are building a prototype for and this prototype will be used to get VC funding. I would like to use the Oracle suite to do this because they are definitely going to go with an Oracle solution if they get the funding, but this would mean using the suite beyond just development.

I've used this signature for a couple of months now. You are the first to mention this. I was waiting.

I would guess Canadians would disagree with the possibly adjective.

Would you believe I'm American. I have a couple of Canadian cousins and they turned me on to them. They are my favorite band, not just favorite Canadian band.

The name has a really great story as well, but I'm guessing it is also why they haven't caught on here in the States.
