Maybe you need a newer version of realy player... Im on w2kpro using real player 8 basic build 6.0.9.380 It is much the same as listening to the radio online (not that I do that at work.....) The presentation was pretty cool and worth looking into. Apparently Oracle is going to be big on running "clustering Linux servers" Where you hook a bunch of machines togother to spread out the processing.... Overall Larry sounded anti everything/body except Linux.... eehhhhhhhhhhhhhh bob -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Bob Metelsky INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
