This is the worst I can ever remember. It's an unusable joke.

Try their marketing hype site (www.oracle.com) and see how fast it comes up...

I would not leave the impression that I was trying to blame recent problems solely on increasing usage. I doubt this week is THAT much worse than 3 weeks ago when Metalink was slow but usable. And I might acknowledge a little more culbability in bringing about the current situation - force-feeding virtually all support to the Web, collecting money up front, which ought to give a decent indication of potential demand, then failing to make provisions to supply the necessary services. I'm certain that its not easy, but it ain't cheap either and we don't get rebates, so I'm not disposed to be real understanding.

Man, these guys just invite the wise-ass comment, don't they? Such as:

Well maybe if the product worked better/was less confusing/had better documentation we wouldn't all be in Metalink! Oh no! If 4 new servers brought the system to its knees just think how bad it'll be when the rest of the hardware arrives! 4 new top-of-the-line servers, just think what that'll do to their power unit charges!

Plus I can't rid myself of the image of us all 'staggering' to Metalink for help.
