Totally off-topic, sorry. We recently got access to a Superdome to install a dozen or so (badly configured; not our fault) instances. I'm totally bowled over. It is 100 miles away but it responds like s**t off a shovel.

Usually I detest the idea of throwing hardware at a bad database, but I have to respectfully admit to Messrs Hewlett and Packard (or is it Compaq now?), that this seems to be a serious piece of kit.
