I have the toolkit for building such appliances set up, and all the pieces
assembled. Somebody now needs to stand up and say they want badly enough to
pay something for the effort involved in constructing it.

If anyone seriously wants a dedicated Oracle appliance, contact me offlist.
It's about a week project to do it. If two people want it and can contribute
something to help fund the cost of development, I can get it done PDQ.

Then come talk to me about how to get it done.
