Sigh. Shoulda left after the Oracle takeover.
Oracle, like the House of the Rising Sun, has been the ruin of many a
poor, er, software.
Back in the day, we used a nice little shared calendar program called
CorporateTime. It had Windows, Mac, and X11 clients -- so all our
users had supported native access. The server portion (a Windows
application) required relatively few resources and could run on just
about any capable machine.
Then Oracle bought it. You only get one guess as to what happened:
bloat, expense, dropped X11 support, tie-ins with the Oracle RDBMS
system, ...
What a waste of money.
Yep.
