I thought we were smaller

[joey.jeremiah]

progress "market value" atleast as of this moment is 1.2 billion

for comparison oracle "market value" is 68 billion

http://quotes.nasdaq.com/asp/SummaryQuote.asp?symbol=ORCL&selected=ORCL


not that i fully understand what "market value" means

i'm guessing if i'd want to buy the company, buildings, cars and all
that's how much it would cost me

i always thought the diff was much bigger ?!

didn't expect progress to be a billion dollar company

Hmmm. Got my hopes up then.

Unfortunately, depends how you phrase the search.

Try

Yeah, I know. I had to play around a bit to 'fix' the results.

Maybe I need to get out more too.
