Hey Jonathan,

I remember getting a call a long time ago.  I basically told them I was a
DBA and just wanted to mess around and learn the new features, etc. of
Oracle.  I guess they "tagged" me as such and have never called since.  On
the other hand, I guess if you said it was for project X, then they would be
calling back...

Last week I downloaded Oracle9i for Linux from Technet. Today I just
got a call from an Oracle salesperson wanting to know what I was doing
with it. I suppose it's not unreasonable for them to call and ask what
I'm doing with their software, but is it normal procedure? I can't
remember whether this happened last time I did a Technet download. 

Jonathan
