Re: Buying Informix products

Informix sent me a free copy of IDS 7.xx for Linux. It arrived one week later. Oracle sent me a free copy of Oracle Server 8.x for Linux. It arrived the next day via FedEx Next Day Air. Good thing Oracle came so soon, too: It required over a dozen attempts over two days to install the Oracle products properly . . .
