Being the sidekick in San Diego....

Apparently ORACLE recently changed its shipping procedures. Murphy's Law
dictates that serious disruptions in service are guaranteed to happen when
the need for reliable service is the greatest.

No doubt somebody else is stewing over the DEC RISC 6.0.30 release they
received when they desperately need the DEC VAX 6.0.27 bug fix they ordered.
(Uh, if you recognize yourself in this, give me a call at the number below. 
Maybe we could swap TK50's.)

In the meantime, ORACLE folks on the support side have bent over backwards to
get the distribution to our Washington site when shipping couldn't and I'd 
like to give them a hearty Thank You and a big pat on the back.
