Yeah, Kinda cool that Oracle knows this. Now our BaaN ERP system can invoice our customers properly that have purchased manufactured parts from our web catalog that we sent out in the year 1582. Our sales and marketing team can project future sales growth based on the data in our database from our sales year 1582.

Real cool...Now if Oracle can adjust their licensing prices to reflect the year of 1582. I'll gladly pay 2 dollars for 100 Named User License.

Regards,
Satar

P.S. no need to reply to this message, it's just a random message generated from the Twilight Zone from the /dev/null files. David, maybe the pope was one of the original Oracle designers? ;)
