RE: Comment on 'Practical Oracle 8i'

I have 2 p133 pcs at home (one running win98 for kids games, the other running linux mandrake).   
can you believe buy.com was selling 512MB PC133 SDRAM for <$50 yesterday?! (it was their dealoftheday special and not the cheap stuff either).  wow!  we've come along way since I built my first pc in '91.  anyone remember VESA-LB?  I've still got a few of those motherboards...
