Hot Damn, I'm an Oracle Stockholder

Interesting to me though maybe not everyone...a big enterprise software acquisition was announced yesterday.  Oracle has agreed to acquire my Alma Mater, BEA Systems for $8.5 Billion.  This is a great fit for Oracle and very likely good for BEA as well. Rumors about IBM or Oracle buying BEA were flying way back during my years there, so this has been on the table for quite some time. I am anxious to see how it all shakes out. 

I also hope all my friends that are still there enjoy the ride. For the record, Ellison has better boats, but Alfred has way better cars!
