True, Also we are speculating on what Oracle will do with the products 
they obtained from their purchase of Sun. Ia8? speculating that in the 
first stage they will ask big money for the products they purchased but 
that in the longer term they will realise that they should adopt a more 
realistic approch toward the hobyinst and reintroduce the multi tear 
priceing structure so that hobyist can use their products again so that 
they will have further support from the community at large.
