Given that the price decline was unexpected, I would like to know more
about Oracle's prospects for growth in the future. I'd like to know that
our decision was a good one (i.e., that there is a high probablility for
15% annual growth for Oracle) 

My gut feeling is this: companies that go head-to-head with Microsoft do
not have a history of faring well...

Until I can be reassured, I vote no.

My fellow HPD members: I encourage you to either sway me or support me.
