4.0 out of 5 stars A best buy, September 11, 2008

By	Oti Ukubeyinje "Otilox is buying it all." - See all my reviews

Bought this product as a gift for my bookworm cousin. It was brand new, delivered so quick and a little bit more than i expected in every sense. Highly recommended for the Oracle freak or novice.
