Thank Gawd!

One company I worked for abandoned a perfect functioning HP MM system to adopt mOracle[0]. They set up 6 double-wide trailers to house 80 mOracle programmers who worked for 6 months to hammer out a custom mOracle program for us. Cost 4-5 million. It was a pile of shit. We ended up using 2-3 mouse clicks (Window$, of course) in mOracle for every single keystroke in MM. Made every end user's job more time consuming. But, the screen looked purrrty, so they went with it. Arrrghh!

[0] more cost, more bloat, more work, etc...
