I have a ZX3 Focus (lady driven, low mileage, autumn red) which I gladly exchange for a Ferrari (any colour) or Aston-Martin (only racing green). Are you interested?

You cannot buy a Ferrari or Aston-Martin for $15,000 with only 2.5% APR. As a matter of fact, when you are buying a red Ferrari, you are probably not even going to mention APR. That is a difference between Ford Focus or Dodge Neon and a Ferrari. On the other hand, Neon or Focus probably do have better gas mileage. > -----Original Message----- > From: DENNIS WILLIAMS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 11:44 AM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: RE: RAC (Real Application Clusters) > > > Glenn - I have a question you could ask.
