Ignorning state govt where they have made as good in roads as other vendors (ie. MS$), as far as I know, Oracle has very little in the way of "mining" software, so effectively they don't walk in the same circles as the WA mining execs.<BR/><BR/>Phew, that's too much text for a Saturday morning.<BR/><BR/>CM.Chris Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566648350240654621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13265058.post-45588447163643985482007-10-05T11:19:00.000+10:002007-10-05T11:19:00.000+10:00It may be, as your article referred to, a simple m...It may be, as your article referred to, a simple matter of geography. If the presenter was coming from and returning to the US, you'd basically be talking two days travel to add a single city to the itinery. <BR/>Or, if they are Australian presenters, they may just forget those other states. Look at the NRL - no teams from SA, NT or WA, but they've got room for NZ.<BR/>Or their numbers are just wrong.SydOraclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828771074492585943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13265058.post-70500220351733574782007-10-04T23:47:00.000+10:002007-10-04T23:47:00.000+10:00Shame Grandma has been dead for over 15 years.

Perth isn't a huge Apps market, but it is a large db market.<BR/><BR/>CM.Chris Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566648350240654621noreply@blogger.com
