Subject: Oracle on Compaq Alpha under TRU64

Hey Folks,

    The other day three of us from my company went down to a Compaq site to try
out an Alpha 440MHZ machine with TRU64 as the OS.  To put matters in a short
sentence, performance was a joke at best.  I'm rather inclined to believe it was
the particular machine we were using as it is used for lots of demo work & is
consequently a mess.  Do any of you TRU64 users out there seeing the same
performance???

Dilbert's Salary Theorem

    Technicians & Engineers can never earn more than Managers.  This is because:

Power = Work/Time
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money
therefore Knowledge = Work/Money
Solving for Money gives Money = Work/Knowledge
Now as Knowledge decreases to 0, Money heads for infinity regardless of Work.
