I have never met you and I heard a lot about your OPS/RAC course. I have se= cretly hoped
to attend one of those phenomenal courses ever since I've first heard the t= ale of two Scotts (the=20
other Scott, of course, being Scott Gosset) and their exquisite internals c= ourses. I managed to=20
experience 50% of the planned fun but now you have put the other 50% perman= ently to rest. We=20
exchanged emails both privately and on this list and it has been a rare pl= easure. I wish you=20
all the best in this world.=20
As a European, I feel qualified to offer a bit of unsolicited advice: in de= ssert shop, every=20
item must contain cholesterol. No cholesterol - no taste. Desserts with no = taste are usually not
a promising business, unless your name is Ronald MacDonald or Ray Croc. To make a long story short, I plan to look for dessert shop if fate or JetB= lue ever get me to=20
Denver. Oracle Corp. is now almost without cholesterol. You are closely fol= lowing the career of=20
Billy Bitsandbytes, my favorite character from Bruce Ellis's book "Hitchhik= ers Guide To VMS",
the book you must have read as an old school oraclite and a cluster guy. Please, stay on the list and let us know the name of the shop. Dan Fink wil= l have to report
about the goodies.
