Daniel: I'm ok either way.  (you'll 'earn your stripes' when I call on 
you in the presentation to answer the hard questions ha). Also, Mapgears 
fixed a labeling issue today regarding this exerciese, so in my opinion 
they/you deserve the credit.  (don't argue with me, i'm giving you a 
press-release-pat-on-the-back ha!)

Cameron: are we waiting on Oracle approval?  Or, what are we waiting for?
