I can understand wanting to experiment with HDR and that dead-sexy ER,

The same way the Larry and the crew at Oracle feeds theirs.

The Oracle software available at otn.oracle.com for download is not
crippled in any way.

If Oracle can do it I should think IBM could too if it wasn't taking
its customers for granted.

Or demand parity with the competition that doesn't foist damaged goods

The first time in ages that I've simply agreed with every word you say.

Are you ill?
