RE: COMMON Update - misc - Database - Oracle

Actually, IBM claimed at the Town Meeting Sunday that they were going to 
get back into the universities/education area in a big way in the coming 
months.

We'll have to wait & see how serious they are and how they do compared to 
what we'd all like to see.

Thank you,
