Now, let's look back in time...when we had databases that were only about 200 odd Gigabytes big, and there were millions of customers, and the processors were not all that fast, we were able to still design some very "nifty" data bases that processed over 300 transactions per second. Now, with all the inflated investments in technology and the accumulation of JUNK data stores, how much value REALLY is purveyed by the datawarehouse appliances? Think about it...
