LOL. BTW, to download it without even clicking that button, just go to ftp://ftp.oracle.com/pub/www/otn/linux directly. With a little searching, you can get any software that is downloadable through either http://www.oracle.com/ or http://technet.oracle.com/ directly from ftp://ftp.oracle.com/pub/www/ , without the need to click "I accept this license" buttons. You just need to search a bit, since it isn't always immediately clear what the directory names mean. Remco -- rd1936: 12:50am up 33 days, 15:44, 10 users, load average: 1.25, 1.23, 1.24
