Don't be so sure. I once met a lady who is the assistant to the number

I dunno. I've been working in Oracle a little. It's sort of fun, in a toy
database kind of way. The programs seem generally much simpler than what
we're used to in the IBM world. Sort of a throwback to 1990 coding styles
too. Throw a little sauce on them and they'll twirl on a fork. The
database works just fine. Oracle apps UI design kind of sucks in OAF, and
ODA seems to be vaporware. It's not very user friendly either, but apps
does seem to work as long as you never deviate from the configuration
that came in the box. Course, that makes it harder to implement anything
new...
