Steve, Are you hoping for a frequent users discount like the airlines? I did a google search on 'Dynamic Grid Computing' and there are interesting concept discussed where grid computing is tested. It sounds like all the computers are accessable at once and the one that has the info needed supplies it to the computer requesting the info. The end results as I read it is that all computers end up with the same data on them. It doesn't sound like an efficient use of disk or cpu power and requires bandwidth. Correct me if I'm wrong please. Ron

The newest version of Oracle Corp.'s database, which the company is trying to keep under a tight lid until it's September OracleWorld debut, will reportedly be called 10G. That's apparently a way to pay homage to the importance of grid computing.
