Who remembers all the cool little graphics demos? Buttonfly, the 3D
spider walking on the checkerboard plane, several others that I'm not
remembering anymore.
And, that reminds me of the classic line from Jurrasic Park, little girl standing in front of an SGI box w/ buttonfly demo running, "Hey, I know this! This is Unix!" ;-)

-- Mark J. Bobak Senior Oracle Architect ProQuest Information & Learning "Exception: Some dividends may be reported as qualified dividends but are not qualified dividends. These include: * Dividends you received on any share of stock that you held for less than 61 days during the 121-day period that began 60 days before the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is the first date following the declaration of a dividend on which the purchaser of a stock is not entitled to receive the next dividend payment. When counting the number of days you held the stock, include the day you disposed of the stock but not the day you acquired it. See the examples below. Also, when counting the number of days you held the stock, you cannot count certain days during which your risk of loss was diminished. See Pub. 550 for more details." --IRS, Form 1040-A Instruction Booklet, Line 9b: Qualified Dividends -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce_at_freelists.org [mailto:oracle-l-bounce_at_freelists.org] On Behalf Of bill thater Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 7:53 AM To: gogala_at_sbcglobal.net Cc: john d parker; Tanel Poder; ORACLE-L Subject: Re: A good OS centric discussion on performanceReceived on Thu Feb 23 2006 - 08:39:08 CST
