(scroll down to the 2 "no moore" posts.
Written and published *long* before Exadata was announced. Mind you: Kevin and I were blogging a lot on the whole subject of I/O and its limits with current technology. I think he might have actually hinted at what was coming. Interesting times, back then.)

BTW: will you be able to visit our SydneyOracle meetup group in August during your stay for the Insync gig? This time we promise to not lock away the projector *just before* you walk in!...

Trying to get Tom Kyte as well, if he's available. The more, the merrier!
