[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I'm just doing development work.  Programming stuff in Java to run on
Oracle.  I don't use or make the database publicly usable in any way shape
or form, so I should fall under the technet licensing.  
I'm definitely thinking duron's at this point, but I just need to really
sit down and figure out if that's what I want to do.  Part of that is if I
sell the cube & the tank, then I should have enough to do so :)
