good deal, thanks.

A couple of thoughts came to me in this general thread:

1. an Oracle employee dropped an off handed remark to me in January 
   that 9208 was still pretty far off (Summer maybe, they said).  They
   could be wrong.  

2. Wouldn't it be nice if cpujan2006 was cpudec2005, so we could use the 
   holidays to get our patching done with lower business impact.  Not
   much going on from dec26-jan2 round here.  

3. I should be in the Caymans from dec26-jan2.
    
4. Some people can't patch because 3rd party apps can't move
   to a supported/patch levels.  I've heard that they are using snort
   to /dev/null interesting traffic.  In this case, interesting are the
   know exploits such as the alter session stuff.
