I agree with what Deborah stated, McNeeley and Jobs were excellent. Viewing
the
roll out of the Network Computer by Larry Ellison was also interesting. The
procedures for the hands-on sessions were ridiculous, on the verge of stupidity
(I especially enjoyed the registration process, 6 or 7 booths for registration
of the conference, then only 2 or 3 booths for hands-on session registration!
Talk about long, slow lines! Poor planning!!). My hands-on, dealing with
Database Tuning, did not have any "hands-on" either, it also lacked tuning
scripts which I could take with me and apply immediately. As for the Technical
sessions, some where good, others were a waste of time. I especially valued
the data replication session and data warehousing sessions.
