I guess that there was some kind of reasoning involved by oracle marketing for trying to do some thing different.

I listened to only the audio stream on the launch date since the video stream wasn't working. I did briefly check out last week the video stream after the event. He didn't look so good on it but then again none of us are getting any younger.

It just seemed very strange. I guess with the success oracle marketing is having recently with launch events ( think America's cup final ) ... they are getting dangerously creative. Received on Sat Jul 14 2007 - 17:47:14 CDT
