Will Miracle Beer ("The Beer That Launched A Thousand Databases") be available for export? I don't think my lovely wife would take too = kindly to me spending 500 DKK (US $85) on beer, much less stock in beer, but The Society has been known to mail order beer and other Oracle-related = items before...

It shall be named Miracle Breweries A/S, and Lasse=20 signed the contract for the equipment last week en Austria, so we = should=20 be able to do test-brews sometime in April or May, we gather. We might=20 actually even end up being re-sellers of the equipment in Scandinavia.=20 That would be our first-ever product that we sell. The capacity will be 300 liters (or three hecto liters, as they say in=20 the brewing business). It takes about 6-8 hours to make a brew. Then it = has to be stored, etc., and that can take 6-10 weeks. We have initially = three or four tanks for that purpose, each with six hecto liter = capacity. You'll be pleased to know that Lasse did the calculation on costs -=20 excluding electricity, water and bottling, etc.: Cost for brewing 3000 liters (yes, 3000, not 300) amounts to about 3000 = kroner - so that's about 1 kroner per liter. Out of those 3000 kroner, the 80 (eighty) is for materials (yeast, = etc.)=20 and 2920 kroner is for the special tax on beer brewing. That's about = 97%=20 or more. Impressive, isn't it?
