Ummmm.... is there some other way that DBAs are supposed to work?

Since this seems to have turned into a horror story thread.... (gee, that could be a new forum for the site and I bet it would see a lot of...

It wasn't difficult, Steve, but it certainly took time. Having 2gig ram in the machine would certainly help, as would having a decent amount of free disk space: that...

I bought a Macbook a month and a half ago, it's a base model: 1 gig ram, 80 gig HD, Core2 Duo CPU at 2 GHz with OS-X 10.4....
