If this gets through I'll be rather surprised. That sniper
robot sure is a stinker at times.

I have to take exception to a previous statement about financial
institutions liking DB2 over all others. I was recently in contact with
Liberty Mutual Insurance to be their Oracle DBA. Fidelity Investments
in Merrimac New Hampshire is
100% Oracle (was there even offered the job), State Street Bank in
Boston MA, Putnam Investments in Andover MA and I'm sure a significant
number of others in my neighborhood at least. Now what does surprise me
is the number of financial places that still run on Sybase although they
appear to be smaller, and to my liking better, places. By the way I seem
to remember reading somewhere Information Weekly I believe, could be
wrong though, that Oracle was the database of choice on the New York
Stock Exchange.
