Phil - good luck in your digital life. Just remember that while you control where it goes, Larry Ellison is holding all your data. And do keep backups if you use your own products - you might not be able to wait until the next upgrade for a bugfix.

Sorry to seem negative, but this oldtimer - having "grown up" with both PCs and the "old" mainframes, before the great God Intel, now having reached still-productive senility at 31 (lets face it, that's from Windows 1.0 and 8-inch floppies, where's my Zimmer frame?) - has learned these things and would like to pass them on before I pass from this world in a puff of obselecence.

BTW, here in NZ, we do have to survive occaisionally without Microsoft-branded lifestyles. We're still here. Guess what? We've got some of the highest uptake rates per-capita for all the new "E" stuff: and it's now declining. Plan that CV... 5 years, maybe. People don't need Pentium toothbrushes, or to be glued to a WAP phone all day.

Good day. Thanks for the amusement.
